Line 8:

It's important that people '''don't''' think EndMyopians are some kind of monolith under a cult leader. Because, well, '''they're not'''. Different opinions about how to improve vision are very common in all avenues of discussion in EM, and these should be heard loud and clear, published for all to see, so that people can come to their own conclusions.

The reasons that these different opinions have their own namespace and aren't encouraged in [[EndMyopia:Namespaces#Mainspace|mainspace articles]] is because EndMyopia is about what works for the majority of people. The practices and methods outlined in the main articles are based off of the experiences of the EndMyopia community as a whole, in particular Jake's large experience in dealing with myopia reversal from many different people, years of seeing what works and what doesn't, and tweaking the method as appropriate based off these experiences. '''~~Articles already written~~ are based on what works and is practical to implement, for the majority of people looking to reverse their myopia.'''
