I think assuming that Scout McCloud's POV
outweighs mine is bad.
I am not claiming that the field is not important. I am claiming that we
shouldn't take Scout McCloud's word for it that it is important.
This is what "a grain of salt" means, that you should not swallow
someone's
opinion whole. It doesn't mean that you should ignore their opinion
entirely.

All right, I didn't know that. But the point
stands that experts in
their
fields routinely overestimate the importance of
their fields.
The point also stands that you're clearly assuming that if you don't
know about it (as you just showed you didn't) then it must not be
important or relevant. This is the fundamental stupidity at the heart
of the AFD problem.
