Because of the public?

If someone decides to try make a name for themselves by taking a shot at embarrassing MS/Intel/Linux/AMD/other which do you think will have more affect on public perception: intelligent, detailed discussion about practicalities and real world attack/defense profiles, or loud shouty "but what if" reporting carefully word to be as scary as possible?
