Yeah right. My "confirmation bias" is based on actually preferring disc brakes first hand, not imagining how they might compare. If by now I had had a bad experience with disc brakes I would be agreeing with you about how great rim brakes are and would certainly not be riding a road bike with disc brakes.
You tell me to zip up and yet here you are on a thread specifically discussing mechanical vs hydraulic DISC brakes telling us that you have zero intention to ever get a bike with disc brakes. So what's your point other than trying to convince yourself that they are not worthy?
