Great post my friend, like you said it's important to draw inspiration from others, but that doesn't necessarily mean everything they say has to be line with what you believe. It's a major issue in almost all areas of life these days, but personally I think it's shown the most in politics, unfortunately.
I have a feelinh these days that fields are much closer to politcs and vice versa that is is almost too difficult to separate them. Better treat them all as people who promise but don't deliver :)
Unfortunately that seems to be the only solution..
