Well since we want to talk about metaphors and analogies...

Mr. Drumpf decides he's going to invest in real estate tomorrow. Does it make more sense for Mr. Drumpf to-
1. Consult with a maven who has over three decades of experience in commercial real estate investment or-
2. Throw money into X type of property he saw highlighted in some article he read about in CNN's Business section.

This is the difference between getting your information secondhand and thirdhand. In the context of what we're talking about, my skepticism of the FBI is based on secondhand information from a close friend who knows that world very well. If we can't respect real world experience and learn from it, then what can we value? Chula, however, thinks thirdhand information is better than secondhand and wants to debate me. By default, he loses.
Firsthand would be if I were an FBI agent myself.
