The problem with this is then you have to completely give up judging
anybody or anything. E.g., you can't say a restaurant serves bad/boring
dishes and has bad decor and service unless you're a restauranteur. Or,
on another note, you can't criticize the free market economy unless you
build an economy yourself.:)
That said, I did agree with your statement:

That's probably a first between you and I.:)
Cheers!
