You are reading too much into it. I am simply unwilling to listen anymore to the commentariat (roughly those working at newspapers, think tanks and/or having degrees in political science, media, communications, or sociology) attacking tech. It has become a tribal issue where political hay is being made and politics drags all debates down to mudslinging.

In short: Talk is cheap, I want to see that they have also done the legwork. That the issues is based on actual facts, and that it comes from a genuine desire to know and solve a problem.
