A brief opinion on opinions
Citing ‘the best’ of anything can at best only be as reliable as the source of this opinion.
Star Trek captains, flavors of ice cream, airline logo’s, Metallica albums, toughest James Bond, etcetera, etcetera.
All generate an opinion.
There is usually no right and wrong in any answer – our feelings can generate from emotion, sometimes attributes
I’ve watched hundreds of commercials for all sorts of products, promoted by superstars devoid of a bonafide relation to the stuff they’re selling.
Headphones donned by NBA players, coffee beans sniffed by tennis stars and even Jon Bodega highlighting the benefits of Cisco networking hardware.
These public figures who endorse such products, products that on the face of it are clearly without correlation to the jobs of those peddling often have the secondary layer of quality, perceivably shared by both celebrity and product they actively promote. I say often as flavour of the month will be the exception.
Reliability, strength, durability, speed, power, etc can of course be common features of these athletes, actors, champions of the brands they endorse. However I’d bet a pay check if you met 90% of them they’d be totally useless at providing any useful information about the aforementioned qualities of these products.
They could give you an opinion, sure. Anyone is entitled to that but actual beneficial advice details, facts, features, constraints, running costs, environmental factors, etc would likely be dumbed down at best, worthless and a waste of time.
Imagine an article stating 8/10 dentists endorsed the Kansas City Royals to win the World Series next year.
I’d presume you’d label this nonsense, utterly moronic and be on your way shaking your head.
Anyone sensible needing accounts of anything should never appeal to an authority not qualified to provide this.
Anyone with a need to find the most reliable information would always look at the most reliable, trustworthy sources for this. This is almost always subjective but again the percentages play a huge part.
Confidence, Usually the best, most accurate opinion based on experience, exposure, education and vocational attributes.
There are plenty of useful resources providing headline information for products and services. I highlight headline as the detail can be beyond the scope of an article, not completely in keeping with a publication or simply not well researched.
