I choose the 2nd. It's more fun. I also consume a lot of content and information about prospects to try to half at least a half-ass informed view. Does that mean my view is more valid than others? Absolutely not.
But I'm amazed that for some the starting position consistently seems to be a negative one, when there is an absent of info.
As an aside, his compete level is considered to be one of his best attributes.
