   It matters that you know what good information looks like, how to know   
   when it was gathered without bias or political intent.   
   It matters that you learn this kind of information and not the other   
   kind.   
      
   It does not matter what anybody thinks about you or whether they value   
   what you have learned.   
      
   That does not mean that you can completely disregard what everybody   
   else thinks, but you get to decide what to accept and what not, using   
   the standards of what is good information that you have learned.
