It seems like every argument in favor of doing this is: "yeah sure but what if X was Y% cheaper?"

And some of us are reading these things and trying to be polite.

But at some point patience runs thin and the only response that breaks through the irrationality is some variation of "what if unicorns and centaurs had teamed up with Sauron?"

The limit of the ratio of useful:useless "what if's" approaches zero.

With regards to a community, I once heard someone say that it takes 10 "atta boy"'s to counteract 1 "you suck".

I also remember, roughly 10 years ago, people saying that the amount of effort to discredit bullshit is wildly out of whack. Which makes bullshit basically asymmetric warfare.

So here we are, in this thread, actually spending time attempting to discredit bullshit.
