| Methodology Vs Opinions Imagine if everyone were to decide to have their own opinion as to the value of 2+2. One may have the opinion that it equals 5 another may say it equals 21 and so on. The fact is, if you chose to place your personal opinions as your tools of scientific evaluation of observation, then don't be surprised if those who follow the accepted standards tend to disagree with your methods and opinions.
The idea of establishing standards is to allow all who learn them to communicate with common understanding. An artist will state that there are 7 primary colors and a scientist will state there are only 3.
