I try not to present something as a fact unless I have personal knowledge of the fact.
This is why I use lots of "IIRC"s and "just my 0.02 worth"s in my posts. Besides, I learned long ago that what works for one person may not work for another. There is a lot of "data" available these days and we just need to organize or process this data into useful "information". Beta, and many others, talk from experience, so it pays to listen.
And I understand what you're saying about using the term "junk". Does anyone here remember the days when a Honda was considered as junk?
