It may depend on how they are brought. The word "may" should not be assaulted so hastily, since it may be used wisely as a qualifier to avoid foolish over generalizations.And, why am I being "stooopid" if I claim to be able to do a better job than Peter Jackson? For all you know I MAY be Steven Speilberg. But that is beside the point. My ability to do a better job, or not do a better job is as unknown to you as my place of birth, therefore, you have no grounds to denounce my claim as being stooopid.
