I also noticed this after posting a few messages describing the effects of mixing non-O/Q commands and O/Q commands (as part of the FUA discussion) and then seeing more messages that indicated a lack of understanding. It is very troublesome to me too - I just quit posting messages in the FUA thread at that point. I assume part of this is that no one has much experience with O/Q and the current O/Q is not what anyone wants or will implement. Everyone is waiting for the SATA secret society to make their version of SATA-2/SAS "tagged command queuing" public. But... Even more troublesome is the attitude you see here frequently: "I know how a disk drive works, there is only one way a disk drive works, I don't need to talk to a disk drive manufacturer about how a drive works, etc".
