(Sorry for the late reply.)

I can post my counterarguments and then the other folks can decide. If the argument is compelling and cogent, people listen.

But I know I'll never convince everyone to like my stuff. The goal is to make a quality, useful product while listening to good suggestions for improvement and not letting people get you down.

Yes, ... Maybe ... I hope software people do; maybe they pay a bit more attention to logic and reason.

I'm otherwise reading the book "Influence, New and Expanded: The Psychology of Persuasion", and I no longer have such high expectations :-(

Good point :-) (Thanks for the reply)
