i've been clear for years that i'm a self-identified nerd; i've never suggested otherwise, and i don't have any desire to identify otherwise.

rather, i'm more likely to viciously attack anything that is popular, trendy or mainstream. so, that's my own bias - if something is trending or seen as 'cool', i'm more likely to stand up against it than go along with it.

but, that doesn't change the reality that we should have waited for better data before making all of these mistakes.
