>> A single trip report could be worth a thousand peer reviewed papers
It really couldn't, you know. It's subjective experience.
>> and a thousand trip reports could create a new science
A thousand may contain useful data if corrected for confirmation bias etc, but no, not a whole new science.
>> if you're willing to listen.
I have tripped. Many times. I know it well. It's not about being willing to listen, it's about being objective.
