An Open Letter to Fanboys

[Dark Jaguar]

I almost agreed with you there until you went sarcastic lazy.

Perhaps you misunderstand.

The idea isn't to like EVERYTHING equally, but to ignore brand and ONLY go on personal taste.

Basically, the idea is to avoid being endoctrined by any company and use rational thought to decide on things. That is to say, when a company does something stupid, be fully willing to call them on it. When you were wrong, be willing to accept it when presented with sufficient evidence.

Basically, you seem to assume that the position is one of "never ever have an opinion ever". Rather, it's that the way some people form their opinions is fundamentally flawed (and it IS) and they need to learn basic logical concepts that transcend through EVERYTHING they will EVER think. And yes, the methods of logic themselves are not above question, but the problem lies in that in order to show the superiority of a new logical method which leads to much better accuracy in discerning systems that accuratly describe reality, they would need to be tested BY those methods.
