Probaby, a weak
way to present your argument. And the criticism is too vague.
I have had no problems with a Bontrager Node and a Cateye Strada Duo wireless (both digitial). I have a Planet Bike Protege 9.0 wireless (analog) which has the classic analog interferance problem. Some LED lights can be a problem for wireless computers (the digital ones should be better). Part of understanding this is having some idea how the computers (wired and wireless) work.

We don't know what computer you have and it's probably not reasonable to expect that all of the different models from other manufacturers will work the same way. Anyway,
battery life is very dependent on how often you ride. How long have to had it? How much do you ride?

It's easy to remove any computer from it's mount (I wasn't talking about that but that might not have been clear).
It's clearly easier to relocate a wireless computer from one place to another on the same bike. It's obvious that a wireless computer gives you more options on where to put it too. It may not be
much easier (in certain cases) but it's very clear that it
is easier.

He
was explicit about wires being a "no no". So, if people can't talk about cadence, they can't talk about wired computers either.
