Well I meant 'less posts, but of higher quality', but I admit that my wording was unfortunate to the point of indefensible. I guess we're going off topic here

Well I meant 'less posts, but of higher quality', but I admit that my wording was unfortunate to the point of indefensible. I guess we're going off topic here and into a not so interesting discussion, but with the advent of universal access to heaps of data, the old ways of thinking are becoming less relevant. What we need is data and evidence; facts, not talk. Now you and I are from a country where it is a high good to let everybody have an 'opinion' (I dislike that word and the concept because opinions are like assholes: everybody's got one and most of them stink) about everything, but luckily we're now beginning to realize the detrimental effects of the excesses of that, and are curbing it. Many scientific fields are moving the same direction: less vacuous talk, more substance.
