And I will quote the correct statement that one member from DTF said in one of "subjective vs. objective" discussions. It could be useful.
Do you know what car I personally LOVE? I wish I had one, but I don't. But I want one someday.
A Chrysler PT Cruiser. I think that car is SOOO cool looking.
My car expert friends roll their eyes, and tell me I'm nuts, and that it's a crappy car. But I actually think THEY are right. Because I don't place my opinion on the same level as theirs. I like the PT Cruiser better than better cars, but I'm open about the fact that I'm a dumbass when it comes to cars. And that's all OK. There's nothing wrong with saying, "I like Nickelback, even though I know that they actually suck. I know there are people out there who know more about music than I do, and their opinions on music are more valid than mine BECAUSE they care more about it than I do. I care more about GOLF (or insert whatever field of study you want) than they do, so if they ever want golf advice, I'll be there for them, and if I ever want to know more about music, they will be there for me."
