I don't think that's the best example of dismissing criticism (basically an ad hominem). Just like a car critic doesn't need to build cars, the Times doesn't need to build an Uber clone to comment on the fact that in the long term, Uber will likely lower taxi driver income.
- jwr 11y agoSo what is a „car critic”? Why would I value his/her opinion? In order for me to value someone's opinion, that someone needs to earn my respect. People who have built something (anything!) get that respect automatically. And if you want to write about cars, you don't necessarily have to build cars — you just have to have built something. There is too much criticism from people who built nothing, and provide little or no value. All they can do is criticize.
