Like Rich, I am always skeptical - about everything!
I always read the written word and compare with vendor and reviewer measurements. Many times that puts the reviewer's description into context. Other times I get confused because the two don't mesh.
Bottom line is I always need data I can trust or I just procrastinate and it doesn't bother me. I learned how to do that in a Decision Science course. I also learned you can't judge a decision by the outcome but rather on the data you had when you made the decision and the process, tools and people you leveraged.
So even though I am a teen living in an adult body, I am wise beyond my teen years. And humble also.
