As I’ve said before on other threads, some posters will demand a level of definitiveness of data to support the opinions of others that they’re not willing to demand from themselves and their opinions. For example, in comparing UChicago vs. UMichigan, one poster proclaimed that at the University of Michigan, “the excellence is buried under a lot of mediocrity”. What’s interesting is that practically no data was offered to support that assertion - certainly nowhere near the level of data that Cue7 has been offering. Hence, apparently, one is free to assert opinions without data as long as they support your narrative. But countervailing opinions must be supported with hard data.
