I've observed that there is a higher degree of credibility that is nearly universally granted by normative humans to those with experience in a subject. I'm sure you've noticed this in life.
There are many people against drugs, for example. But in general, a person who has battled addiction and comes back with a strong anti-drug message is typically granted more credibility.
Perhaps there's a notion that I'm implying one can't have an opinion at all without experience. Well, this forum, filled as it is with countless informed and uninformed opinions on many subjects, certainly makes it obvious to even me that anyone can have an opinion on anything.
My point has to do with the amount of credibility that humans generally ascribe to those with experience in a subject. This is a no-brainer, when you think of it.
