This is absolutely true, imo. I'm guilty of it myself. CP discussion "momentum" either negatively or positively towards a prospect is very powerful, and sometimes that momentum comes from little more than a couple posters liking/not liking a prospect based on never having seen them play.
That certainly doesn't mean that there isn't incredible knowledge on CP, but I'd suspect that the majority of posters are more like me in relying on smarter, more connected posters to give accurate assessments of prospects.
We just have to remember that a lot of people here are just following the discussion ups and downs on players for their commentary and aren't nessecarily going off anymore than that.
