Cool, none of that is remotely relevant to what we are talking about here.
Your anecdotes are dated and you should think about updating them so you don’t talk so confidently on things you don’t actually seem to know much about.
I mean that sincerely not as some internet gotcha there’s just no need to sit there defending a position that is based on old info just for the sake of it.
I think your anecdotes are a bit out of date and irrelevant.
People much better informed than you looked at this problem in a lot more detail in real life situations and came to very different conclusions.
