As far as I'm concerned, Alodar wasn't talking about people at all and whether you should listen to them, but purely about statistics and how this branch of discussion poorly represents data on the topic as a whole, considering the fact that one's to leave the opinion are likely more negatively inclined in the first place. And that there are also other factors that make one's opinion on the matter unrepresentative. He wasn't saying someone's opinion is worse than other's at all. It feels to me that you argue so much, Niara, that sometimes you become intolerant to someone posing even the slightest threat to your intelligence... sorry if I am wrong, just the feel I get.
