If I could just make an impartial, non-judgmental observation (really), I think there’s a bit of history here that goes beyond just that one thread. Take a look at this thread as an example. To save time, you might just scroll down to the concluding paragraph of post #9 and then @codinghorror’s immediate response in post #10.
It just gets ever more contentious from there. I offer no further comment nor any kind of judgment. Read the whole thread if you want, and make of it what you will.
Perhaps a valid point.
