Definitely.

My principle problem with this article is that you appear to promote the idea that these SPRs are being ignored for extremely bad reasons, rather than they were ignored for decent reasons. So when you say 'definitely' here I have a problem that you are compartmentalizing the arguments and not admitting the problems with your post.

Also, I don't think this is a great article and in proportion to it getting +40 votes I have a poor opinion of this community (or at least it's karma system where 0 should be neutral).

edit: My last paragraph here is excessively dramatic and I retract it.

Miller,

Does this look like "not admitting the problems with [my] post"?

It would be more constructive of me if I actually helped find counter-evidence, rather than whinging about your not doing so. I think you've put a lot of effort into updating your position.
