Strident:
1. Loud and harsh, grating
2. Presenting a point of view, especially a controversial one, in an excessively and unpleasantly forceful way
Oh well, calling it as I see it.
Empirical:
1. Relying on or derived from observation or experiment.
2. Verifiable or provable by means of observation and experiment.
3. Guided by practical experience and not theory – or hearsay.
Yes, that’s precisely what I am talking about, no blind faith or handbooks needed.
Earnest:
1. Serious in intention, purpose, or effort, sincerely zealous.
2. Showing depth and sincerity of feeling.
Yes, always. And goes hand in hand with the first one, sadly.
