Gee ProfWag, we are supposed to pick a side? I'll take a side of fries, thank you.
I don't 'pick a side'. I prefer to nitpick my preferences one issue at a time. I love a good point/counterpoint issue myself. I find it hard to form an opinion of any kind from a laundry list of claims and counter claims. It's like watching an eternal game of ping-pong. While one claim may be spot on correct, the next might be dead wrong in the same sentence by the same person. I don't feel that I have to agree with every point of a subject to be pro or con.
