groundless opinions?

If you agree with the points being made by others and someone presents those facts very clearly and succintly, why try to reinvent the wheel? They are talking points and are presented as a basis for discussion and debate. If there are opposing views that are supported by different numbers, lets look at them. Most of the time on this forum there ARE no opposing numbers presented; whether that is a sign of laziness, ignorance or just naysayers with a closed mind, also remains open to debate. It also may be VERY possible that fairly frequently there ARE no realistic, believable opposing numbers to propose, and THAT is why some people unsuccessfully struggle to be given much credibility in the debate/ discussion here. Spouting personal opinions that have little rationality or grounding in fact does not move this American debate process along very much, and wastes a lot of time. Those that dispute those numbers and/or opinions have an oppurtunity here to make a counter argument- but they DONT explain the rationale behind their thinking, or any figures that might back them up. There is, of course, always room for an honest difference of opinions in any debate, but to assert that ones opinion is correct just BECAUSE one says so, and has NO supporting evidence, prevents any serious weight, consideration or credibility be given to their comments, and wastes a lot of time and energy. Lets discuss the issues. Has the final numbers on the bathrooms come in yet? The Certificate of occupancy has been issued after TWO years -shouldnt they know pretty soon?
