I tried really hard to stay away from opinion in the opening text. Everything stated is easy enough to verify.
Its one thing to be trolled; its another to state fact.
I admit to a bit of a bias- I run an LP mastering operation. The act of getting into that field caused a lot of my own misconceptions about the media to be dashed. For example I found the actual noise floor of a lathe cut is a lot lower than most people think- easily in the -80s and no question rivaling the noise floor of digital. The surface noise crops up in the pressing process.
And that's just one example...
