I find it interesting that development products/projects are probably the only place where no one will allow you to have a valid opinion as a non-contributing user. And people will defend this lunacy to amazing extremes, presumably because it's easier to tell everyone to fuck off than to filter and respond to the valid points.
I find this a bit disappointing because in any other situation, feedback and constructive criticism is welcome and typically acted on, even if you weren't involved in the production process. You might not be listened to, but you won't be silenced by your peers.
To use the silly analogy in the OP: you don't need to be a chef to say the food tastes like shit.
