Actually, not.

In a debate, perhaps, when data is inconclusive, it is expected to
provide thoughts to sway the voters. However, in a technical arena,
where decisions are based on the facts provided by the merits of
the point at hand, subjectiveness is a detriment. Folks just want
the facts.

Jeremy (and all those that support the idea) is proposing something
and asking the community for support in the decision. I've asked for
technical merit that supports why we should change. I have no reason
to argue, I just want some facts to base further decision on.

Instead, I get subjective guesses. This doesn't cut it, Bruce.

If one has to guess that the suggestion he provides is supposed to
be superior, it doesn't lead to much credibility.
