It's sloppy to label that a reference in that context. It does nothing to establish that you have had hundreds of such conversations. (You could just say you have already written your thoughts about it there, and that page certainly indicates that you have thought about it quite a lot, even if it does not directly document any conversations.)

Anyway, if you are going to take the hard line that those fields aren't doing people any good, you might as well make it clear that you are lumping them together (take the hard line meaning loudly advocate for that position on comment boards and such).
