You shouldn't and it does invalidate your opinion.

You're an engineer and this is HN so shouldn't making a comparison or judgment be backed up by some factual information?

>The fact that I don't want to spend my time

Don't you feel that a comment akin to "government be spending alot" is almost like spam considering how often it's mentioned? If you had some information that showed that for what we are talking about then that would be substantial.
