That would be a witty reply, were it I were guilty of making your hypocritical statement by association. As it stands, you were the one discounting the validity of not having skin-in-the-game, not I. Personally I think having the opinion of both those with and without skin in the game is often useful in forming a more well rounded observation. Of course you already voided your argument by stating your lack of the skin of the game makes your own argument "damned."
