It's funny; we never had anything like credibility. Even though we all have some sort of punk-rock background, but so what? I really don't care about that. What's credibility anyway? Who has credibility?
Our willingness to openly reveal our feelings in our argument nearly always builds our credibility.
Well the way we perceive accuracy and what accuracy is statistically are really two different things.
The credibility of a newspaper or news magazine is essential so you can check it for accuracy. I'm not saying it's not valuable. One can make a case for just running everything. Just run it! That's one of the advantages of the web, you can run everything - but you don't help the reader find out what's important.
Writing a book is a tremendous experience. It pays off intellectually. It clarifies your thinking. It builds credibility. It is a living engine of marketing and idea spreading, working every day to deliver your message with authority. You should write one.

Character is built out of circumstances. From exactly the same materials, one man builds palaces, while another builds hovels.
The man who builds a factory, builds a temple.
Those who are learning to compose and arrange their sentences with accuracy and order are learning, at the same time, to think with accuracy and order.
