I am not on any side!

Just step back and think about what you are saying.

Say a new guy comes up to you at the flying field. Are you honestly going to tell him to guy buy a turbine plane if he can afford it to learn on.

I think not, at least I hope not. That would but stupid any way you put it. Philisophically, scientifically stupid. And yes, that would classify anyone that gives that advice as a moron if you told them so.
