Use of the term "cargo cult" is cargo cult.

  Nice try, but no. The word has a defined meaning/usage. Taking marketing claims for technical superiorit with regards to readability as gospel without any scientific evidence of their validity (and even evidence to them being nothing much) qualifies.

    You would be right, but my visual cortex actually has an elisp hook that trims marketing text and imagery. So, in this case, my comment was borne out of purely personal, first-hand experience. Furthermore, my original comment's 'wish' was not an attempt to apply opinion-constraints upon others. My aim was to garner karma from individuals who might share the same sentiment as I.

      >Furthermore, my original comment's 'wish' was not an attempt to apply opinion-constraints upon others. You say it like it's a bad thing. Isn't trying to get people to agree to some objective/scientific fact an attempt to "apply opinion-constraints"? As long as there is no violence or legal restrictions involved (e.g you don't force anyone by anything else than your arguments) then I'm all for applying opinion constaints on that nature.
