I've always been a fan of "strong opinions held weakly" and the rebuttals I read to it so far were, to me, weird straw man articles about assholes at work and not being one.
But your comment totally convinced me, thanks. There's no need for strong opinions, even when weakly held. It adds nothing.
Amazing how a few sentences can do more than entire blog posts sometimes.

A long form article is more likely to try to make many points at the same time, some strong, some weak, some wrong ones.
Comments are usually short, making only one point. Furthermore they're sorted and filtered by popularity. This means that strong, pithy statements are displayed much more prominently.
