- 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.
I wouldn't equate selecting a draft pick to a game of black jack. You have a lot more information about the player you're picking than you do about the next card coming out of the chute.
