Consider it retracted, then. Some twaddle about hobgoblins and
consistency hops unbidden into my brain here, to my own disadvantage.

Um, that would be a double-d'oh, then.
I personally am waiting for outside commentary on the conclusions I
achieved, even if it's critical - I'd be disappointed if after writing
2,000+ words about Development And How Much It Costs, the only word I get
back is that I've rushed to judgement on a tangential point.

If someone questions your statements, you are being criticized; if someone
questions your right to make those statements, you are being flamed.
If you defend your statements, you are carrying on a discussion; if you
attack your critics, you are flaming.
If you make a strong statement on the basis of experience, that means
something. But if other people have had different experiences, that means
at least as much.
