I'm describing the set of posts that jointly satisfy:
- The thesis is "tool X is superior to (Y, Z, ...)" or "X is a modern/practical choice".
- The argument is purported to be technical and rational.
- The arguments are fallacious and do not stand to rational scrutiny.
Where you can reasonably think that the author's actual reasons are affective, and they are trying to make rational arguments by backward-chaining from the conclusion and failing.
If an article is (jointly) written in green font, uses the word "the", and is fallacious and does not stand to rational scrutiny; that article is fallacious and does not stand to rational scrutiny.
