This is not an academic panel, this is hacker news! I think on average the culture here tries to avoid wholly opinion based discussion. You don't need to collect formal evidence to leave your comment, but substantiated claims sure will be more popular than unsubstantiated ones.

Experience is evidence. Foot-stomping demands of evidence for things that are obvious from those without experience is tiring. It's like those kids whom start working at cafés as their first job, do everything by the book and are embarrassingly uncool.
