before deciding to use any feedback given. another point to remember is this; when 4 or 5 people tell you something doesn't work, and one person tells you it's fine, one of them is wrong

Indeed, and the world is flat

I didn't say it works, I said it's too soon for the person to begin thinking about that aspect of writing.

As a beginner, I think it's good to start with a simple subject which is common and cliché.

would you trust someone who told you to crash the car when you were taking driving lessons, or would you trust the person who wanted to teach you how to avoid accidents in the first place?

This is a totally inaccurate metaphor. All teachers know that you never throw all of the information at a student at once. You don't tell the student how to avoid a crash before he even knows how to steer or knows the brake pedal from the accelerator.

I didn't realize that agreeing with everyone else's methods and feedback was a prerequisite on this site.
