OK, while we're all being so (rightly) open-minded about stuff, let's not forget that open-mindedness extends the other way - to the possibility that it's all bunk. :)

What I mean is, we're all open-minded. Let's not go down that route.

"Open minded ", "think outside the box", "there are more things in heaven and earth ...." . When they get used the BS meter goes up a notch . What's wrong with just providing good quality ?
