If you're accusing me of believing that choosing fixed or freewheel/multispeed is essentially a matter of taste I think I'm guilty. My gripe is when someone says "I like fixed over freewheel because of X", where you can replace with X with something that has very little, if anything, to do with the differences in the drivetrains.
