It is called "providing examples to back up your proposition", rather than just continuously stating, without supporting examples, "VM are cheap" (and I don't regard Sky stating it as supporting evidence....).

You do like to narrow the focus down to the only part that supports your position, excluding contradictory evidence, don't you?

Yes l probably do to a certain extent but its also a bit of you calling the kettle black on this as l think most of us try to present it from our own point of view as l have noticed on other threads.
