Difference of opinion

Comedian Rodney Dangerfield used to tell a joke that went, “My psychiatrist told me I was crazy, and I said I want a second opinion." He said, “Okay, you're ugly too.” Everyone has opinions. Some people take more stock in their own opinions than others do. The fact is not all opinions are of equal value. Call it being “old school” or having common sense, but I’d rather trust the opinion of someone knowledgeable in their field than someone who doesn’t know his or her behind from a beehive. Stating something as fact with vigor and authority doesn’t carry the same weight as someone with knowledge and expertise in their field stating their opinion quietly.
