If you've ever read a book about science history or scientists, or worked in any domain of scientific research, or been taught by knowledgeable science tutors, or spent time with - or are related to - any of the above, you don't need reminding that boffins are, very commonly, delicate nerdy creatures with fragile egos. They're rarely adept at human interaction. They're inclined to squabble, nurse grievances, and remember slights.
Frequently, there's madness in the method and meanness in the motive - especially when reputations are at stake. I've got time for Danny, and Amir: they've each contributed something valuable to the web – but each have axes to grind (rather publicly now) and that's become bias.
Having said that, perhaps we did need reminding that physics doesn't permit a full-range three-inch driver to fulfill any meaningful duty at room-dependent frequencies. Speakers like that have no business operating without high-pass to subs unless operating at short-range / low SPL. Any such design is wishful thinking, reliant on inflated marketing, and open to straw-man critique. They have their place, but it's a limited niche. And the prominent, ugly, unfinished product shots remind me of the way newspapers select the worst pictures of prominent poliiticians they oppose, and heroic images of those they support.
