I'll always upvote a Phineas and Ferb reference.

I'm a rando on the internet, it would be pretty silly to trust my gut opinion.

The clarity to recognize that this is something you have much more of an emotional engagement with than I do, and I mostly posted here because your initial presentation of your opinion was SO strident that it made me want to reflexively disagree with you. I still don't actually agree with your...
