I do think that the level of vitriol is definitely tied to the rhetoric, but I don't really agree that if these things are explained in a softer way that it produces any actual acceptance from the fanbase. Mostly just mockery and the same objections that have been made against the methodology since about 2007. Which is what leads some people to be glib and sarcastic and treat people like troglodytes when they do it - it's out of frustration. It's annoying to be mockingly chided with the same nonsense ad nauseum for years and human beings have human reactions. I'm as guilty as anyone.
That's not what Lambert's doing of course; he just wants the clicks.
