It's not nuance, it's reality... it's rarely black and white, and never as ridiculous as you've described.
I have no idea how people can read guys like duncan, HemiEd, Bowser, OtWP, keg, Plow, Brock, Pablo (to name a few haters (holla!)) and come close to any of the conclusions you've made in those two posts, unless you're just here to troll or maybe if English is like your 3rd language.
I think the first thousand times my stance as well as those I mentioned was explained is probably enough, but I'm sure it'll get mentioned a few more times, so be on the look out for that. But, to answer your question (which seems to be about the only thing not in bold for some reason), yes, it is a rationally based opinion, so it takes all kinds of things into account.

So i again ask, go ahead and explain your nuance... while i wont argue that many posters have started to look at this pragmatically the last 2-3 weeks - you name those names but in many cases i've seen those opinions soften - i hope you wont argue that the hyperbole surrounding Axls performance in light of all the facts is just as ridiculous as my supposed strawman.
Again i ask, who else did you want this year and more importantly why, whats the advantage to someone else besides Smith this year or next?
Are we better off with someone else this year?
Is Reid too stupid to move on if the guy cant execute his plan?
Are the obvious holes in this offense at all to blame for Smiths performance?
Can a 15 year loser fill every roster spot with capable players in less than a year?
That was a very courteous slam, but all i want to know is what better option did you have in mind?
