Not trying to depreciate their opinions, merely point out the fact that they do not grasp the full implications of the situation upon which they are passing judgement.
Given that, do you tell your doctor how to remove your appendix (or even give him pointers?)? Do you tell your dentist how to cap your tooth? What about your plumber, do you suggest new methods and materials when he does work for you? All these people have received professional training in their chosen field, as I have. Most people wouldn't think to tell these people how to do their job. However, put a police officer in front of them, and all they can offer is criticizm.
So, spare me your rant on how I seem unappreciative of citizen's opinions of how I should do my job, as I've heard enough of that for one day.
"When I take action, I'm not going to fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt. It's going to be decisive." - President George W. Bush
