"Not one hundred percent accurate, but fun reading."
That is one opinion, Sire, and I say this with all respect that is due you. It does not happen to be mine.
The reason I do not find the guide "fun reading" is how infuriatingly relative and subjective I found the remarks of the compiler. Why could he not simply have limited himself to the facts and maintained a more objective, balanced tone? Why did he have to infuse his own opinions into every page of the guide? Those ruined whatever enjoyment might otherwise have been found in it. Media critics do develop tendencies to infuse their own opinions into their critiques instead of allowing their readers to judge for themselves, and I have ALWAYS hated that tendency.
Pointing out flaws in the installments is commendable enough; those who may do so are advised, IN doing so, to keep their opinions out of their observations.
I realize that the judgments of others on this subject will differ. I will allow their judgments TO differ; I have STATED mine.

You'll allow others to have differing opinions?
That's kind of you. Really very kind to Allow that.

I am but human, Sire Reaper. I can expect no less THAN to have others differ with me.

No...I do not believe a Cylon would speak THAT way. No, my tendency to avoid contractions has much more to do with diplomatic phrasings such as the Quorum/Council Of The Twelve would employ than with the annoying drone of those wretched mechanical monsters in phony humanoid form.
