Straw man argument.

So what about hiding on demand, and having it visible by default ?

Absolutely wrong.

Well constructed arguments, with very nice examples...

Michael proposes here a sort of middle ground, using the studies from
different sources (referenced) and the apparent wish of the maintainer

I would like to point out that, as Adam Williamson nicely written in his analysis of the references quoted earlier in this thread, it's hard to call any of the references as "studies" -- most of them are opinions and not widely accepted either.
