It is the extremes that become frustrating and annoying at times.
I'll add a few things to this:

- If you hit on 19, and run into a 2, some people might say that you're a genius. Others will say that you made a bad decision. I side with the latter group. (Specifically, Jankowski could pan out and I might still say he was a bad pick.)

- I like to give people the benefit of the doubt with regards to the degree of absolutism they're posting with. I don't want to have to append everything I write with "IMHO". Chances are that if I'm writing it, it's my opinion. I might add emphasis if I'm trying to state something as a fact. "Jankowski will never pan out" is merely a guess even if not disclaimed as such.
