None. That's exactly the point. How much weight
would _you_ value someone's opinion who didn't
know what he was talking about?
( I'm NOT saying you have no experience, or know
absolutely nothing of what you're talking about.
We're establishing a baseline here :-))

* Sure. Someone who doesn't even play at all
is entitled to one. It just won't be worth much.

Doesn't matter. There are loads of guitars & amps
to try, compare, and form opinions about. If you've
only tried a few, should your opinion be valued as
much as someone who's tried a thousand?
