If you don't agree that the person proposing a change should 
present a good reason for the change, then we have little common 
ground.

Certainly not by selecting only those sources that agree with you.

Perhaps by performing a survey of many web sites, whether or not 
they agree with you, and tabulating the results; if you are right, 
then the results will show that your side has a clear majority, 
and most of the objections will go away.
