It only seems weird to "question" it because people get confused about what questioning means. They think that it is denying, which is totally different.
See where I warned about misusing the term "question" above ^^^^
Just because you question something doesn't even slightly imply that you don't then do it once you've checked to see if it is legit.
Cisco is legit, just like Chevy.
Yes, which is why I also pointed out that it was NOT the vendor being questions. I feel like you hare having an emotional response to what I said and not reading what was actually said. You are definitely not responding to me here.
It's not that Cisco is always wrong, but if your "consultant" recommends Cisco you should be more wary of him than if he suggested Juniper or Ubiquiti
The chances that the advice is good is too low to not question it. It's because it is a predictable scam response.
Both of those statements mean you are directly questioning the vendor or consultant. I'm not having an emotional response. You still haven't explained how someone who doesn't know how this stuff is supposed to work, is supposed to know when someone is telling the truth or not.
Nope, I never questioned the vendor, never once. Because you are not dealing with a vendor, there is nothing to question. We are discussing paid for advice and questioning the capabilities or motives of the person providing that advice. And it takes zero technical skills to question the bigger of the two (motives) and very little to question the former (technical.)
THere is no challenge here, only a need for a company to care about doing a good job.
