Friends are better than the professionals Q. When deciding a play, do you consider a recommendation from your friends, or do you consider a critic from the professional editor? Why? When deciding a play, I consider a recommendation from my friends than recommedation from the professional editor. Of course, the professional editor has a lot of knowledge about a play, but he don't know my taste. In contrast, my friends and I share many things. They know my taste better than the professional editor, so I trust a recommendation from them.
