" I have noted that with you popular opinions are frequently accepted as true opinions. There is nothing particularly wrong in this, it’s safe and you’ve got plenty of company, which you like. But I think you’ll find that the majority are only occasionally well-informed and that your own judgement is frequently better, and will always be more Christian than opinion in mass. So don’t bum rides on other people’s opinions. It’s lazy at best and in some cases much worse. "
