Being over a decade deep in my career, I still find it difficult to give advice to other designers. Since art and design is widely subjective, I tend to initially think "What makes my opinion or process anything special?". There is no shortage, however, of young designers giving their strong opinions and advice on design. Much of it lacking conversation and being very matter of fact. What do you think makes an individual, for lack of a better term, an "authority" on a field or topic, Actual experience/insight or simply popularity and a willing audience? With the plethora of web publishing formats, do you find it dangerous that uninformed opinions can become popular?
