Accurate observations of the gist of this thread, IMO. And IMO, few cyclists and less decision makers give a dang what the dogmatists have a "quarrel with" on any cycling subject, given the dogmatic VC clique's consistent inability to distinguish between their own fantasies/assumptions (AKA ideology) and reality/facts that affect all other cyclists.
