  Experience matters. Aptitude matters.
context: Depending on the topic, and the comment made, it does speak to the credibility of the poster. Someone claiming to be a professional in the area of discussion carries a bit more weigh than someone with no background or training in it.
  I would value a person's opinion who's working at Wal-Mart currently, for example, over someone that has never worked there, or any similar store, within reason. 
  The thing is, anyone can claim anything tho, as it is still the internet. I've seen ppl claim to be in a certain profession that I'm in, post comments that are so far off the fundamentals that I'm sure they've never worked, in any capacity, in my field. >
