If it's a situation that i had been in and/or species i had experience in then i would offer my opinion, if someone was going to repeat a mistake that i had made in the past then, again i would give them my opinion and if relevant try and point them in the direction of some expert guidance.

This just made me see red. There are very few experts on here, and most of them don't post often. If we left all the commenting to the experts we wouldn't have a forum.
And nothing in life is for certain. There are loads of ways of keeping animals some better than others, but no BEST way.
If someone asks what substrate to use for a carpet, I'll probably say I use paper, and might explain a bit about why. It's not right or wrong. I doubt an expert would be able to argue that it's wrong even if they used aspen, and explained all the reasons it's superior TO THEM.

If we don't discuss, even argue, what is the point of the forum.
