Compare and contrast the following two statements from 'glueman':

"So in answer, a folk song is anything an informed person says it is." (11th May 09 - 12:15 PM)

But on the 1954 definition:

"I think it's wooley, relies upon wishful thinking and attracts sentimental adherents who lose all sight of what they're on about. Slim facts mixed with value judgements." (12th May 09 - 07:23 AM)

Is it just me but isn't the first, so-called, 'definition' about as "wooley" (sic) as you can get? Doesn't it depend COMPLETELY on wish fulfilment, no facts whatsoever and value judgement?
