Ø Aw nuts you are just being a stirrer.
Why is pointing out facts considered stirring?
I think the best answer to that is the one Josh Kronfeld gave to Paul Henry

Ø “No-one ever built a statue of a critic”
Yet without critics, some people often wouldn’t have been motivated to produce
the works that lead to statues of them being built.
I am also a classical musician, and I can tell you as far as I know there is
not a single case in history where any composer was guided, inspired or helped
by a critic. In most cases they rather had their lives made difficult by
them. And in many cases they had to polite to them because their influence
through newspapers etc was so powerful even though the critics were often
really despised as being stupid, malicious and neanderthal in their thinking
and opinions. But they couldn’t say so.
