Arguments like this have existed since long before the internet. So, for grins and giggles, I sat down and thought about some of ‘this vs. that’ arguments I’ve heard in my lifetime, and a few before that. Most of which were certain to destroy all of civilization:

Stars in the sky vs. Little pin holes in a canopy over the earth

Round Earth vs. Flat Earth (people got burned at the stake for this)

Train tracks across the prairie vs. Not train tracks (our entire cattle industry was sure to collapse)

Indoor plumbing vs. Outhouse (we were all going to drown in our sleep)

Electricity inside the house vs. Not Electricity inside the house (we were all going to be electrocuted)

Electric guitars vs. Real guitars (I think this started in the 60’s)

Ford vs. Chevy (Been going since the wheel was invented)

Pet Rock vs. Pet invisible piranha (This was big in the 70’s)

Ma Bell vs. Not Ma Bell (The world was going to implode if Ma Bell got broke up)

Analogue vs. Digital

Rock and Roll vs. Real music

Metal Slinky vs. Plastic Slinky

Hippy vs. The world

Windows vs. DOS

MSWord vs. Word Perfect

Quill vs. Fountain Pen (Remember our desks in school had ink well holes)

Fountain Pen vs. Ball Point Pen (Everyone was certain ball point pens would destroy the economy)

Black and White t.v. vs. Color t.v.

MacDonalds vs. Burger King (every kid knew Burger King was better, that clown was scary)

Coke vs. Pepsi (RC won)

Two dollar bill vs. Real money (two dollar bill lost)

Netscape vs. Explorer

Oil Paint vs. Watercolor

Watercolor vs. Acrylic

Traditional art vs. 3D art

3D art vs AI art

People just like to argue, it’s in our DNA. This argument will pass and something new will come along, maybe Earth vs. Mars.
