Another example why the basement blogger set (BBS) is a dangerous thing. These guys have limited knowledge/experience and they write what they think they know rather than deal in the facts. The whole made up stats BS is what drives me crazy. But those things sound reasonable, even though there are no longitudinal studies to test their validity or reliability. But they sound good and a lot of readers will buy that nonsense without consideration. The sad thing is that these online interests are now reaching out the the BBS and giving them a national audience for their garbage. The narrow minded narrative then receives a boost in credibility and a fallacy becomes truth. Whether it be Kent Wilson or Ryan Lambert (didn't he lose on American Idol or something like that) these guys with no real expertise or experience are granted a stage they do not deserve and do damage to the knowledge base of the average fan. These guys make Eric Francis and Bruce Garrioch look like Woodward and Bernstein.
