"F35 is an uber-ship. Anyone who says different is a puff - and I have the latest (or recycled) JPO press releases to back it up"
vs
"F35 is a catastrophe. Anyone who says otherwise is a kiddy-fiddler - and I have the latest (or recycled) critical article/report to back it up"
What should the conclusion be then? Perhaps both? e.g. could one say that it's a financial disaster but we're going to stick with it until it reaches the point of being useful and then it will have its good points?
