Agreed. The situation is pretty much a perfect storm for generating more heat than light: we have a significant change to the status quo, a subject most people don't really understand (let's be honest, for most of us - authors and readers both - publishing is a black box: money (or books) go in one side, and books (or money) come out the other), a group of people who feel passionate about the subject, and a near-total lack of solid, reliable information. The situation isn't helped at all by a few loudmouths making inflammatory comments (Authors are greedy bastards! Readers are self-entitled cheap SOBs! Green! Purple! Green! Purple!), of course.
