Then I'd say you have some pretty decent justifications for your approach. I'd take the negative responses you got as constructive rather than inflammatory: if it made you review your justifications and think again about whether approach is fair, then they did their job.
In many ways, writing on the Internet is much like the interviews we are discussing, especially in a place such as this, which has so many highly opinionated experts. I get why you got hostile responses to your post, but I also get what the reason for writing that post was. In person, the exact same words would not have lead to such a high-strung feeling as one gets when posting about anything controversial on the Internet.
