More "Straw Man" arguments from the misinformed

"A normal human being is not going to sit around whilst you explain how you have to re-compile the compiler so you can compile the web browser before you can try to install it."

I've been using Linux for years and years and I can't even remember the last time I had to compile a desktop program.

Intelligent people can see right though the "straw man" stuff. These things diminish the message you are trying to get across because we now must regard everything you say with suspicion.
