I have huge respect for the effort that goes into gaining qualifications - but I can't help but note that those who have them still dispute so many things; because of that, like age, I reckoned alone it cannot make a person right.
Qualifications should give a person the ability to reason what they say and support 'fact' with evidence - so where that's noticable in it's absence I can't help but be sceptical.
I've just finished a page where he suggest that omitting ANY information from children is lying and teach them to grow up dishonest, he includes in that rows between parents, financial strife, drug taking, ANYTHING. It somehow doesn't surprise me he spent years estranged from his own kids - I suppose they voted with their feet. I don't believe kids want to hear about evry argument, debt, affair and intoxicated night! It's diferent when a child asks or when there's a need to know.
