I do not profess to know whether you are qualified to speak on any subject.  In fact, it means very little to me whether you are Ray Chen or Hilary Hahn or a beginner.  You have just as much freedom to speak on these subjects as does anyone else.  That being said, of course the less one knows, and the more one professes to know, the more open they will become to criticism.  

In know that for me, and I try to qualify that statement often, I know that I could not change a fundamental technique without proper guidance.  Period.  So, that experience is enough for me to suggest to the OP that simply changing technique without such guidance may present challenges.  

I do not go on to point out anyone's lack of experience or knowledge to the point of publicly shaming or lessening their opinion.  I think that in the modern age of social media and widely used medium of communication on internet forums, it would be beneficial to approach these types of questions in a manner that is more positive, or at least differing perspective, than entering into pissing matches.

1. If that means very little to you my interest in further explaining you anything is negligible. You are welcome to your opinions whichever way you formed them.

2. That's not my way and managing the sensibilities of anonymous internet warriors is not something I have time for. I will make sure I avoid your posts from now on. By the way, I suggest you check your early posts. Some contradictory statements there.......
