That is correct among specialists. That is why it is so funny for me when
some one critics a writer just because he is a bad trader or no trader at
all. I do not care who said the idea, is he a good trader or not, good
family man or single Don Juan, white or black.

Cannot agree with it. Recently a doctor suggest me a knee operation. I am
not lazy, but for the life of me (in this case literally) I can not analyze
or even fully comprehend the ideas should I do the operation or not.

In the meters which we do not understand we rely on the authority in the
field to attach our judgment to a particular point of view. That fact often
miss used by propaganda machines when government (or business) employ
famous man of respect to tell us lies.
