Not at all ... many issues though with people who insist that X sounds better than Y just because they spent a fortune on X. Also very annoyed when I pursue one of those 'tips' and end up empty handed. And I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who fried his paycheck like that...a lot more than once.
True, people should always provide limits when offering recommendations eg YMMV etc because IME nothing is universally valid across all systems and to all ears, music preferences etc. Even if we heard the same thing, there would be difference in how we classify and make sense of what we hear. There is definitely potential to get burnt and waste money on stuff - I have been there, however this is part of the learning experience and hopefully brings us closer to understanding what works and what doesn't work.
