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.
It's only cliche if you aren't interested in the truth. It
doesn't matter if I used Hilter or any other person that was
"passionate" but wrong.
Hilter is just the greatest example and most obvious example.
If you actually understand the issue, you would realize it has
nothing to do with Hilter.
I don't know. Whenever someone runs out of arguments and is
forced to go on the attack, Hitler seems to be the first insult
people reach for. Thus once I see Hitler references pop up, I
throw out that individual's credibility. Solves bandwidth
problems of who is worth listening to.
Some soul searching for you, is I'd refrain from such references
as it only hurts your credibility. Not the one you sling it at.
