| fact is theres few facts about any of this, jusdt lots of opinion.

Well, yeah, but Jon, given that the Internet is heterogeneous,
anisotropic, expanding, and mutating, it is really hard to be
anything but anecdotal, since even the most comprehensive data
set (one that defeats the observer problem (i.e., in the absence
of isotropism, how do we know what things look like "over there"?)) 
will quickly grow stale.

Are you arguing on the question of whether opnion can be "good enough",
or on the question of whether something much more strong than opinion
or localized (in space and time) measurements can be obtained with
an affordable amount of effort?
