You said 'most people'. This implies you know that, in fact, a majority of people think what you claim.
If you're going to make a claim like that, you should have some data.
If you don't then preface it with 'I think that' or 'people I know'.
If you don't or can't be bothered to do that then you should shut your pie hole.

Usually I'm all for citing, but your persistance in this argument is inconsequential. And that last line is uncalled for.

I'm guessing that it's comments like this ("shut your pie hole") that are creating the sense that the quality of discussion at this site is in decline (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4396747 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4396747)
