Have you tried to read his rants? I was going to respond to a few of them, but there was so much BS in them, that I didn't know where to start.

Brake levers aren't simple on/off switches. Hydraulic discs require less effort to increase braking than mechanical rim brakes. Less effort = less fatigue.

That's not really the point of disc brakes.

I would expect them to be compatible with other Shimano hydraulic systems, but hooking them up might be a PITA if you don't know how to cut hoses + bleed your brakes.

My disc brakes are silent, unless it’s raining.

Riding in the rain, with a group, brake noise is actually a benefit. It lets everyone know what you are doing, without a word.

I'm not going to argue it any further. For many people road discs are unnecessary, but they simply work better than the best rim brakes(even in perfect weather).
