Steps to criticize a leader's credentials:
1. If he doesn't have any real world experience, criticize him for that.
2. If he doesn't participate in support forums, criticize him for that.
3. If his contributions are technically flawed, criticize him for that.
4. If the language he uses is profane, criticize him for that.
5. If his lifestyle is undiciplined, criticize him for that.
6. If he hasn't written published articles, criticize him for that.
7. If he doesn't have a helpful website, criticize him for that.
8. If he hasn't written a book, criticize him for that.
9. Otherwise, criticize his book.
