as someone that has been on the receiving end of this one, I shrug it
off as someone with a strong opinion, probably a good one with respect
to a much longer history than I have.

For example, a long time ago, I had a very poor history with Seagate
hard drives and to this day, I still try to find another brand and it
likely has little to do with the quality of Seagate drives of today.

Prejudices are like habits and they die hard.
