As Hannibal stated, he wasn't actually disagreeing with you.
I do value the theoretical...

I agree with your last sentence above ^.
I guess I thought you were referring to my post because you quoted everything, including mine. It looked like a compare/contrast between ignorable "theory" responses and good experience responses. I've had people jump my case because "I couldn't possibly know without first hand experience" (which is flawed thinking IMHO). I can tell you with high certainty that it's not snowing in New York by looking up the temperature even though I'm miles from actually being there.
It's all good. :)
p.s. I wrote the post above this one before I saw your reply.
