Headlights - Black Crystal question
David D Schnelker said
No hostility here. You asked a question and I gave the correct answer. Then you said I'm wrong, and supported that with a bunch of marketing BS. I said I'm right, and supported that with valid science and fact.
Now you're so wound up you couldn't even use this board's quote/reply button correctly. Maybe take some deep breaths.
I never said I was interested in those LED lights you like
I never said you should be. The links I provided included excellent halogen lights across a range of prices. Maybe read the answers when you ask a question.
I do? Where? Because no, I don't.
while accusing me of doing the same thing
Because that is actually, really, literally what you did. You regurgitated Sylvania's promotional claims for their ZXE bulbs. Those aren't your words; you're not reporting on any tests you ran, you're just repeating what you've heard or read about those bulbs. In a word: parrotting.
We just disagree. I do think your wrong about the Sylvania bulbs and several other things too.
You're perfectly entitled to your own opinions. Not your own facts, though, and you've got the facts wrong on this.
Did you think I was insulting your intelligence?
No.
Just like not everyone builds a motor the exact same way.
Except it's not like that at all, because headlamps are life-safety equipment, and engines aren't. Bad consequences of making a poor choice of headlamp are more severe and more likely than any consequences of picking a Carter instead of a Holley carburetor, or this camshaft instead of that one.
No hate here, dude; that call's comin' from inside your own house.
Look, there's probably something you know more about than I do. It's not car lighting, but there's probably something. Whatever it is, if I were to ask a question about it and you were to give a knowledgeable answer backed up with facts and science, I hope I'd have the manners and good grace to appreciate the education; that's what grownups do, and there's no shame in it.
