I agree with much of what you say, however this is a kilt website and more specifically the question by the OP was posted on a kilt advice forum. By asking that question on that particular forum does invite and encourage an assortment of opinion. It is the very reason for this particular forum to exist. What the OP decides to do with those opinions that are freely given is entirely down to him. For the rest of us an interesting and civil conversation ensued and with the added bonus that these conversations may assist others in their future attire decisions. I personally see no problem with any of that.
