One of the unwelcome elements of PPRuNe is it's ability to polarise topics, which then creates factions, something this thread demonstrates very well.
Having taken a side, IMO it does reduce any objectivity. If you believe you can argue either side of the argument and still sift the wheat from the chaff, carry on.
What I do find ironic is that some of the go minded posters are also the one's who would criticise "Children of the magenta line"
