I don't see what's the problem with talking about either of these. The questions are valid and all of the experienced guys will tell you the exact same thing (and have done so in countless of threads).
Then there are the inexperienced ones who think they've discovered something really important and would argue ad infinitum a logical fallacy based on their lack of experience. And if not corrected it ends up as misinformation that perpetuates itself. There are plenty of other similar issues which tend to originate in other forums where people with little experience act like experts and the unfounded speculations are left to run amok without being challenged.
