Me: If you haven't already, you should watch this topical presentation from Greg K-H that was posted to HN like a week ago. ... Notice how his praise for the tools differs from so much of the expressed positive sentiment for said tools here on HN. ...

Thanks but I'm not going to watch it.
> people are simultaneously much more easily impressed and often lack the skill to properly evaluate the output they're getting
Yes, this is the exact sentiment expressed. That the praise you see is because of these people with low-horsepower who aren't capable of evaluating their own experiences.
