I see and understand what you are saying but then the practicality of it then discludes many from the discussion.
I could easily state in any of the computer threads, "Well if you truly want to understand what to do then you must read about electrical engineering, GUI design, and programming coding."
But that's not a good method of discussion since it halts and stops it. It gives one a little pause to discuss. In the case of host or even yourself, I need to read the rhetoric and then double check the facts, read the implications and inferences and decide for myself the motivators of the writers being cited. If that's how you coffee clatch, then I'd not ever be interested in sitting down in real life discussing anything with you or anyone who's style it is to make the other individual feel incompetent, stupid, or ignorant about the subject being discussed.
