Fourflys, totally agree.
He has a authority to speak on it, but others are annoyed by it, tantamount to taking the opportunity to insert a political stance during a conversation about consumer pricing. I'm not saying he shouldn't talk about it. He absolutely gave a well-balanced discussion on who might benefit the most from each brake system.
People are sensitive, but shouldn't be. I think some are sensitive around the topic of "bigger/stronger/heavier" or "smaller/less wattage/lighter" when it is just a data point he is working with to provide his services. Clearly these influence fit, e.g. touch points and their sizing, frame stiffness/size, and how the biokenetics of the human interact with the bicycle. It plays in my book.
Edit: But I do agree with Mark, despite his tongue-in-cheek pot-shot, that he's no more qualified to talk about maintenance and performance than a seasoned mechanic or product engineer, or what have you.
