Everyone is entitled to their own use-case of course, but let me phrase it a little differently:

If you recommend me a dish from a restaurant, but you can't describe the flavors, texture, and quantity in a few sentences, then why are you recommending it?

"It's awesome, the flavor is spicy, salty, and smokey. It is charred on the outside and greasey and chewy inside. It is a very hearty and filling dish."

Actually, I think that's a really good example; I hang out with a lot of foodies, and that's another thing where I'm not very educated. I can understand 'Yeah, you'd probably like it' or "this is like that other thing"

but... when they start going on about the various flavors? Yeah, I have a really hard time translating that into what a thing tastes like, because I lack the background, I lack the education.
