Okay, right. (And you know that I am far more comfortable with certain kinds of authority than others... i.e. universities, schools, etc...)

But what I mean more is, there shouldn't be any problem with how much you can trust yourself. Like, okay if I'm writing a polemic, or an opinion, it should be clear to me that's what I'm doing. I shouldn't think that what I'm doing is being objective, or truthful.

Or that I'm qualified to be a photojournalist because I've got a digital camera. That's just ridiculous.

It's like the soap-opera thing.
