But you shouldn't give "authority" to research results either, 
because the context is different and the research results could 
come from "tunnel vision".

The viewpoint of a random poster could provide a perspective you 
had not thought about and that gives you a new angle to analyse 
your design.

If you are unhappy with a situation then you need to change. You 
cannot predict the outcome of the change, but by using multiple 
perspectives you:

1. Get an idea of which directions you can make changes in.
2. Can consider more potential outcomes of the changes you make.

But if you don't make any changes (because there is no data), 
then the situation is highly unlikely to improve.

The core of design:  you don't know the outcome, the outcome is 
one or multiple hypotheses. But if you look at it from multiple 
angles then you have a better grasp of where this could head.
