You asked a very subjective, opinion-based question, and called the answer offered "objectively horrible" and "speculative". That doesn't seem to make sense, besides being unnecessarily antagonistic.

Re: Downvotes - You said, "I asked a perfectly reasonable question and was downvoted", then went on to say something about downvoters having their blinders on. That's sarcastic complaining. In general, commenting on your own downvotes like that looks bad (underdog syndrome), is distracting, and also self-fulfilling (complaining about downvotes is something that invites downvotes).
