I believe we both agree on the basic principle of usefulness of a 
viewpoint:

Backed up by arguments that can be judged, useful.
Not backed up, or backed up by only non-judgeable arguments, 
garbage. Ten or hundred of such viewpoints, still just as garbage.

I am saying that the standard Reddit ramble about language 
adoption belongs to the latter category, and I believe you think 
it might belong to the former if the one evaluating has enough 
experience?

The reason I believe a large majority of such posts are worth 
nothing is [that we have a tendency to make up reasons for even 
utterly random 
stuff](https://unherd.com/2021/07/what-warhammer-taught-me-about-life/).
