Do you take advice about mothering from a woman who's 5 kids have all ended up on drugs or in prison just because she's been a mother? That analogy sucks, too, but it's no worse than yours. For areas that have no definitive answers, you look to past success as a means of weighing possible current and future accuracy.

Nice twist, but its not correct. A proper corollary would be: would you take advice about mothering from a man who has studied mothering and parenting to some degree over advice from a mother of 5 drug-using, prison-living kids? I would take the guy's advice.
