I think this thing is getting way too over-analyzed. The way I
interpreted the original question was just basically, "Who do you
like better". Why examine whether or not this question should be
answered...or even asked in the first place? It's BEEN ASKED, and I
for one am interested in other peoples' answers. Al might be, too :)
