The trouble is, people who are unfamiliar with aviation will read Carlton Meyer/Bob Cox/David Axe's self-serving, bullsh*t career work and take is as gospel.
There are far more individuals out there who have been spouting far more entirely inaccurate BS in opposition to the V-22 for far longer.
See: the entire G2mil website, written by an absolute aviation layman of Meyer (I am being generous with even that assessment) whose technical assessments written on his site are frankly laughable. This website is repeatedly cited/linked by hoardes of other "people unfamiliar with aviation" in arguments why the V-22 is supposedly so terrible.
I find it humorous that any (even seemingly) positive piece with regards to Osprey elicits these responses from its detractors, for whom their standard modus operandi was to shout from the mountaintop every time there was a compressor stall or cautionary landing back in 2007.
