Also add documentation and justification of one's opinion through some things called facts and credible sources. That's what I learned during my years as a student, that's what I practice as an educator now, that's what I teach my students.

Without facts, credible sources and proper justification and documentation, I cannot take anyone's claims seriously; I stopped taking the most well-known Greek audio magazine seriously when a prominent reviewer said that the classic tone of a Fender Stratocaster's rear (bridge) pickup is that of a humbucker (dual coil design, both coils in phase and connected in series), whereas every electric guitarist knows that the Stratocaster has always been specified as a guitar with three single-coil pickups and that humbuckers in the bridge (initially) and neck (later) position started being installed in the late '70s by customizers like Schecter, Charvel, Mighty Mite, DiMarzio etc.

As a reader, I absolutely demand that the author/reviewer/journalist/whatever knows what he's talking about. And if an ignorant (and ill-mannered, like Phillips) author tries to ridicule those who demand a proper justification and documentation of what he says, he has to know that the Internet is an unforgiving, cruel bitch.
