His/her first statement was directly answered in the original comment. When that was noted, they swapped to undermining the basis for the comment. It’s pretty typical for techies to provide an opinion without basis and desire for it to be treated on the same level as those “in the know”

So everyone should always be included in conversations if desired, but coming in with an uninformed opinion spoken loudly, desiring more to be “right” than to come to an understanding, won’t typically be appreciated.

Please have an informed opinion. Mouthing off about things you don’t understand based on distorted statistics with political bias that you also don’t understand is not the same thing as having an informed opinion. Believe me, plenty of folks who work “in the industry” of higher ed have ill-informed opinions on this subject as well, but the folks throwing rocks without even trying to understand what’s really going on are just trolls.
