180. I'd say that this is pretty indicative of the real world on this topic.
On the one hand we have the well meaning, but completely ill-informed, being so enthusiastic about this gizmo that they will not hear what the people that know what the hell they're talking about are telling them. And OTOH the people that have been fighting this battle for years and years being (I think) so upset about our collective refusal to seriously address this issue that they are coming off as "too angry".

Earth_first and Hugh_Beaumont have a pretty good handle on the root of this, IMO.
