I think there is a value especially when you are not part of that world. It's like watching a new sport and you can hear the commentators and hear which parts excite them and hear their read on the matter at a higher level than you (I) can. It's a good way to get into the same wavelength. Kinda like oil.

I just liked primeagen from the above. I like him cause he made no pretense to objectivity and he is also very exciteable, which is a valuable information in itself.
