>Acting like an elitist by withholding the information because "you're not smart enough to make this decision" is what makes the approach so infantile.
counterpoint: if a person believes themselves to be "smart enough to make this decision", they should also be smart enough to read the research and make that conclusion for themselves which one is better for their specific situation, no?
AFAIK, the research is publically available, so it's not a problem of a lack of information, rather it's a lack of anyone with significant enough credentials willing to speak up and endorse a particular solution over the others.
