Showing the popularity of something is not going to make it more acceptable to her at all and it probably wouldn't have changed the initial insult she hurled to get him to back off.
He took the right approach in bringing it up and they discussed it much better as a result. Sometimes, in being married (or a longterm relatioinship of any kind, really), we take for granted the feelings of another and think we can hurl out anything, then wonder why they're insulted. And, while all this could have been avoided had she merely voiced her position (no pun intended) on the matter without the personal hits, Wolf was right on to use this and his research to broach the subject as he did. Not everyone can just talk about what they want or like. I tried the calm, logical approach myself and it was taken as an insult in my own relationship. So, kudos to those that can do it successfully.
