I know what I’m talking about...

I see your written opinion. Nobody is perfect... Even Spock as a half bread cannot deny his flawed humanistic side.

Half bread.
 
This is an odd thread... my impression of the OPs sentiments is that they're pretty closed minded. I've played for 25 years, I know what I'm talking about, AND I know there are many approaches, theories, techniques, musical systems, and opinions about what to do and how to do it. I like hearing from those whose thoughts and styles differ from my own. I know enough to know I don't know it all, and the more I open myself to the possibilities of doing and thinking about things differently, the better a player I'll be. Don't shut the door, there will always be more to learn.

Hola. I've been playing for X amount of years and I know what I'm talking about. I'm going to state my opinion in such a manner that it can be read as pure fact. You are sure allowed to state your opinion, but that's all it will ever be. If you don't agree with my opinion, that's cool too because nobody is perfect.

Dunning–Kruger effect
In psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people of low ability have illusory superiorityand mistakenly assess their cognitive abilityas greater than it is. The cognitive bias of illusory superiority comes from the inability of low-ability people to recognize their lack of ability. Without the self-awareness of metacognition, low-ability people cannot objectively evaluate their actual competence or incompetence.

Wow. Seems like the Dunning-Kruger effect is the phenomenon whereby he who fancies them self superior because of stupidity; is unable to see that they're actually lacking in the brains department because of the aforementioned stupidity. I once looked up circular reasoning in the dictionary. It said, "see reasoning, circular."

Then there was the country boy who landed a date with a southern belle ivy-league lady and asked her, "Hey sweetheart, what school do you go to?" She replied, "Yale," to which he replied, "HEY SWEETHEART, WHAT SCHOOL DO YOU GO TO?"
