Passion or not,
"If you are wondering why I'm inflammatory, here you go. You
are pulling me the old prove a negative trick. You have good
evidence that DIP25 is good design ? Good, because I have none.
And that's my proof. As long as I have no evidence that DIP25
is good, DIP25 is bad."
That statement shows a lot of arrogance.
It he not really just saying "I have no clue if X is true, but
since I don't know, I'll just assume it's false and assume you
are wrong.".
That's not very logical. Why wouldn't he just as well assume X
is true?
The fact is, he can't and shouldn't make such statements about
X if he has no "evidence" about it.
Instead, wouldn't the proper approach be to discuss, learn, and
share what one things in a positive way so everyone can learn
about X and reach a more intelligent understanding of it?
Hilter was very passionate too, are you saying he was right?
Since you brought up the Hilter reference, it's useful to mention
that he was successful because people blindly followed him and
his actions...
But really...do we always have to resort to Hitler references
when discussing disagreements? Seems very cliche.
