It is. It's Chapter 5.
You may not want to hear this feedback but this definitely plays a role. I get to talk to lots of folks about the hobby - many who are new to it and looking for advice. At least half who are debating 2-rail vs 3-rail make some type of comment concerning the perception they have of 2 railers being curmudgeonly rivet counters. The other common comments relate to the cost and space requirements.

That's why I put "self respecting" in quotes; to show it was meant as a (more quotation marks here) "tongue in cheek" remark.

Didn't think I would have to explain, but I guess we read into these comments what we want to... 😐
