The difference being that I've personally tried the contended methods, while some critics are happy to cite anyone's else often seriously dodgy information rather than seeking evidence independently.

And fair enough; but students must first develop a
competent critical analysis framework before setting forth on independent study, if the analysis is to have any merit. In simpler terms, a
bullshit filter. Some folks don't have one of those in full working order just yet.
If grow-books were peer-reviewed, where all results are replicatable independently by others, it would be reasonable to take what they say verbatim. However, I'm not sure any such thing exists. The result is a bunch of grow authors who tell the same wrong tales over and over- for pay.
No one on rollitup is paying me for my opinions. The real proof of any information is in independent
replicatability. I make sure that anything I suggest on here is absolutely replicatable by anyone who tries it- or I don't waste time writing it up. When someone else successfully tests one of my theories, this is as close to a peer-review as you'll ever get in this line of work.
This is why I invite critics to
try something before attempting to discredit it- and especially when trying to do so with rather suspect information, even if there is a great preponderance of it. I'm not suggesting that one typo invalidates an entire grow book, but if something like wet buds in a sealed jar gets past the author, you really do have to wonder about the rest of the content...
