Actually, they are not as objective as one would think. Putting a few sentences together in reverse order is not a comparison to top posting. Comparing paragraph structure to a post is not necessarily analogous. There are many reasons, in writing, to start with a conclusion. As to the "as /most/ points", I have yet to see anyone saying that show that they have the least insight into learning and perception styles and how different types of minds/personalities read and perceive information. All I've seen is a bunch of people who say, essentially, how it makes sense to them, and since it makes sense to them, it *has* to be right.
