No, it is important to get input, but in the end it shouldn't be too compromised. The only way to really know if it works is to test, get feedback from the intended audience etc. We often fine tune stuff in different iterations of websites etc on that basis.

"Your personal reaction is unimportant, except in determining the honesty of the statement - in which you are expert"
