the following is an analogy which directly relates to the way one weighs the many opinions of ANY, its intellectual property and its products...

it is as though a chef opened a new restaurant creating a specialty entrée to be featured as part of the grand opening... on that night a dozen or so patrons who consumed this chef's specialty entrée would later submit very favorable online reviews...

meanwhile another gent, who harbored ill sentiment regarding this chef, resolved never to set foot in his restaurant... he did however see a picture of the fare from an online post by one of the patrons... based on this picture of the chef's food and his carefully nurtured resentment of the chef he proceeded to write and post a scathing attack of the chef's special... he then enlisted a few friends to write similar reviews, also based on the picture and on prior sentiment, but not on the experience of the food...

now if you were to consider going to this restaurant, and you checked out the reviews on yelp... you would see two disparate sets of reviews... how would you weigh them? which reviews would you trust most? would you eat at this restaurant? would you order the special? or would you be dissuaded by those who had never tasted the chef's new dish?

when it comes to ANY's ip you have two camps... those who have witnessed it in action and those who have not... opinions are both cheap and plentiful... informed opinions less so... jmo... glta...
