The only decent research I have read on this subject is from Youmav and it was a first post.
I see nothing wrong with the learner posing questions and playing devils advocate. I think that the learner has done quite a lot more research than just looking up the CEO of VC to be putting up the questions. It certainly got me thinking.
Despite being personally attacked they were valid questions as its transpired to date. We should not be blind to other viewpoints or controversy. No one is compelled to answer the questions put up for discussion.
If we sat around all day listening to our own rhetoric and talking up our own book we would be none the wiser.
