No, that's all the more reason to distrust major, unverified claims made by someone "outside of core competence".

Applied demon summoning is ruled by empiricism and experimentation. The best summoners in the field are the ones who have a lot of practical experience and a sharp, honed intuition for the bizarre dynamics of the summoning process. And even those very summoners, specialists worth their weight in gold, are slaves to the experiment! Their novel ideas and methods and refinements still fail more often than they succeed!

One of the first lessons you have to learn in the field is that of humility. That your "novel ideas" and "brilliant insights" are neither novel nor brilliant - and the only path to success lies through things small and testable, most of which do not survive the test.

With that, can you trust the demon summoning knowledge of someone who has never drawn a summoning diagram?

Somehow the game of telephone took us from "outside of their core field" (which wasn't true) to "outside of core competence" (which is grossly untrue).

I suggest then that you make your statements less confidently.

Your passions may have run away with you.

The freshly-summoned Gaap-5 was rumored to be the most accursed spirit ever witnessed by mankind, but so far it seems not dramatically more evil than previous demons, despite having been fed vastly more humans souls.
