Didn't do that either.. I didn't call out anyone with a differening opinion, I called out false arguments and ad hominem attacks, which are things that should be called out. If you tell me you think the FA20 isn't a good boxer engine and I try to counter with "but what about the testerossa?" That's a false argument because the testy doesn't have an FA20... You see that line of reasoning is called "Arguing a false premise."

We have the ability to quote things, did I say this? Or are you "arguing a false premise"? Please quote where I said (or even eluded to) that because I don't enjoy this engine other cannot?

Come on Rice throughout yor post you managed to hit almost every high point that you were calling others out for.

Well, in some cases. Yes. This is a natural tendency of humans though, we tend to put people on too high of pedestals. Having one person say, "I don't really like this" and the counter is, "But so-and-so engineer made it!" It's a version of deification because it assumes that any critique of said person is automatically wrong. As for doing the thing I'm calling others out for, I did not use false logic arguments or personal attacks in an attempt to shed light on such things... with the exception of the Testaross retort.

People are perfectly satisfied with this engine but if you are not inspired then change it don't tell us we can't be inspired by it.

You're doing it wrong.
I am attacking false logic, personal attacks and strawmans. I never told you that you cannot be inspired by the FA20, I just stated a dissenting opinion. Maybe you're projecting? It seems like you're being defensive very defensive and perhaps you're very fond of this engine but I didn't say you couldn't be.
