Almost all opinions are made from a place of ignorance because nobody's personal experience covers more than a fraction of how a tool can be used.

The result are a ton of opinions that are generally useful but specifically useless. This has a chilling effect on those who might wield a tool differently for their own specific needs.

well yeah, that's why they are called "unpopular opinions" and not "unpopular facts"

If all that stops you from trying a new tool is some crazy guy's ramblings on the internet, you probably weren't going to be effective with that tool anyway
