Over time, the discussion in web based forums has shifted (or will shift). Over time, respect has been (or will be) earned. It varies between the forums (and who shows up in that thread to post).
/r/homebrewing "gets it":
Something that might help move the discussion forward would be to create a "baseline" recipe / process and then over time "prove it" with competition scores.
Perhaps a very tightly focused process: full volume, 2.5 gal batches (5.0 gal is to big, 1.0 gal is too small, ...), 30 min boil, induction cook top (brewing indoors). Others can spin off separate efforts for the seemingly endless variations of 5.0 gal partial boil with late addition processes. Or the "no boil" (2019) recipes / process. Or for MoreBeer's new (in 2024) Flash Brewing kits.

I've probably read everything he wrote for Zymurgy (until my subscription lapsed in early 2024). I always enjoyed what he wrote and I continue enjoy the "last drop" articles he re-posts here.
My earlier point (and it's probably a small group effort rather than an individual effort) ...
... was intended to offer a path (there are other paths as well) to move things forward.
