Most of the arguments against, sound like the same arguments against things like cars (vs horses). "Do you think we'll make all those roads just for cars to go on?", "Cars don't work on dirt roads, they get stuck all the time", "What if you run out of gas in the middle of nowhere?" "You will run over people and kill them in an accident" "Cars cause pollution"

Making ones own arguments is a great idea. Mocking others is not. Re-read the site rules.

I simply pointed them out politely. Any sneering was entirely projected!
