Not that I dislike your version, but aren't the claims as unsubstantiated there as they are in the original? (And I don't know how they could be anything else when someone is simply sharing their informally gained insights.)

Oh, you're right. I didn't introduce new arguments because I only wanted to change the delivery of what Dijkstra wrote and not the substance.

I also don't mind unsubstantiated claims. It's just obnoxious to phrase it like "any person with half a brain knows [controversial claim]".
