I think, yes, we like to think we're highly empirical... but from my experience, many people claiming to be highly empirical and fact-driven are actually highly emotional and defensive.

Nathan - What you posted here isn't disagreement, unless you are trying to say that a non-trivial population of the sort of CD user Jesse described simply doesn't exist.
You both can easily be right. Many CD users can fall into Jesse's camp and many can fall into the one you described.
I think you are both right enough, and that you both are describing a part of the total CD universe.
