Luckily, not everybody thinks as you do. If everybody waited for new technogies to be proven by market, no new technologies would ever be proven by market. There have to be early adopters to bootstrap any technology. Please don't discurage them, just because you aren't one them.

    I don't think he will discourage them. Quite the opposite. You see, sundialsvc4 is the opposite of a key influencer.

    I'm struggling to come up with a term for that, perhaps “cheesy inhibitor”full of ‘cheap’ stylisticdevices, flow–ery →analogies© and “´old bull-shitter´® ‘logic’”¡¿?!  … yet ultimately superficial and unconvincing.

    Update: Instead of "cheesy", perhaps a word starting with i sounds better, for example: "insignificant, ignominious, inept, irrelevant inhibitor". Other alternative adjectives: gormless, fatuous, puerile, pointless, puny, pathetic, pitiful.
