Your argument was "The context / creators do not matter as long the product is good" which I countered with examples why that is wrong.

Last time it snowed an insane about was about 5 or 6 years ago I'd say, I was going down to Iowa for a funeral. Counted 107 cars/trucks/semi's/buses/RVs in the ditch. 125 if you count the motorcycles in the back of…
