Fair enough, and I actually agree that Altman's delivery could have been better. I said as much in my original comment.If he's smart he can deliver it like you just did. Making it sound like a good hardware investment advice, to not overspec or overdimensioning. One of the reason we stay in this Techspot web because they deliver on that part.
But he can't. And he won't. He is brash and stupid.
But you've essentially acknowledged that the underlying argument has merit when presented differently. And that's precisely my point.
Should we dismiss a potentially valid argument simply because we dislike the person making it or the way they present it?
There's a difference between being brash and being stupid. Altman may not be everyone's favorite personality, but I certainly wouldn't confuse his delivery with his intelligence.
I also agree that TechSpot provides valuable hardware advice. That's one reason I'm here. But sometimes the discussion needs to go beyond what makes sense for our next PC build and consider the broader implications.
We can disagree with the messenger without automatically dismissing the message.
