I consider my neighbor to be a fool. Does that mean he is? I don't
believe his family and friends would agree.

If you're a psychologist and have a lot of credentials to prove you know
what you're talking about when you call your neighbor a fool, then it
might. (Ignoring the psychological principal that often people call
others names they don't want to admit apply to themselves -- it's
called projection.)

On the other hand, if someone is Ian Murdock and the "Ian" in his name
is where the last 3 letters in "DebIAN" come from, AND he just happens
to be the creator of the distro, then perhaps that means he has some
authority and knows what he's talking about.
