This exchange is a wonderful example of why amateur/anonymous advice shouldn't be automatically taken as better than professional advice! You are both filling in the blanks with your own experience and biases.

I never said it was automatically better. Where are you getting this nonsense? I only indicated that there are situations where one might want to hear from an uninvolved outsider for perspective and this is one reason why "amateur advice" in newspaper columns can have genuine value for some people.
Anyway, I'm done here. This entire discussion is completely off the rails from my perspective.
