I wouldn't base it on that.
It's bound to lead to bias.
It might lead to a correct conclusion, but a view from outside is allways more objective. |
I disagree. Outside observers almost always have their own preconcieved notions of reality that shape their opinions. They also tend to give inordinate weight to the radical statements of others because they lack familiarity with the subject.
