This. I'm well aware some of the comments I leave on the net about certain products (be it applications, os, hardware, tools, literally anything) might come over as smugness (though I do my best to just state facts without putting an extra undertone in it) but at least I realize that; it's just a natural reaction when you see something you like getting bashed - especially if that bashing is not entirely just or even completely wrong. But it's baffling to see people not realizing they're being dragged down by cognitive error and it makes them blind. We're humans, we can be thaught to self-inspect, it's unfortunate this doesn't get done in education enough.

I misread this initially and I suspect others are as well based on the downvoting. But I think what you mean is that impulsive and/or unconditional bashing is the cognitive error here, right?
