Hell yeah again. I've hurt myself laughing at some of the stuff that goes on in the shoutbox. And look at our smileys! That's endless entertainment right there.
I agree with you Sleeper that knowing yourself and how you respond to different things can be one of the biggest criteria in success. But if it was all about personal opinion, instinct, and all that there wouldn't be much to discuss in the end.
You'll find that most of the more experienced people here try to speak to personal experience. Either that or make recomendations that are similar enough to things they have dealt with to make them fairly confident in it's application. Then if they have quotes from articles and journals and diagrams they use that to BACK UP that info but not to replace it. If I say the data says this or that I am not just talking about the data but am relying on my own experience applying that data and what other I know have said regarding their experience. I'm curious as to how much you have read here.
I don't think you'll find a lot of rhetoric around here. Much of what we say goes against the grain of "rhetoric".

The prevaling opinion here is that those mags are not worth wiping your ass with.

If you want a lot of uninformed personal opionion then you may like a place like BB.com. Most of us here are trying to learn as much as possible, improve on what we are doing to optimize our gains. Just because something works pretty good for you doesn't mean there can be no improving it or there is not a way to make it better. If you are able to do the same type of training day in and day out for years and years and still see consistent gains then you are one lucky individual.
I have cast aside many long held personal beliefs and continue to do so willingly.
