Really? So if I lived in a neighborhood with a high murder and crime rate, with great potential for bad guys to sneak into my home and kill me, and I decided to refuse to lock my doors and windows and secure my home, would you trust me?
Not in matters of home secutity, certainly:) But that wouldn't disqualify you from being knowledgeable and dependable in other areas. You might be an excellent accountant, for instance, whose advice in tax matters would be very safe to trust.
Just my take; I know many disagree.
