I'm sure there are people in the world who think the best meal ever is a super-sized Big Mac combo. Do you really believe their opinion is equally as valid as that of a professional restaurant critic?

Yup.
What you define as having "better taste" is going to be different than what I define as such, which will be as different as what Fotze defines as such. Personally, I don't waste my time letting someone else define what is good and what is bad for me. If person A recommends a big mac, but person B recommends a dish based around foie gras, I may try both and make my own decisions.
Or, to put it another way, who's opinion on the Flames do you value more: Cowperson or Bruce Dowbiggin? Beyond that, do you let either of them define your opinion on the Flames, or do you prefer to form your own, which may or may not resemble that of either of them, and may or may not accept input from either?
