On a style point, you've rather undermined yourself that these are common claims because there are entries on this list that are clearly fabricated, as well as others that look like wilful misinterpretations of what someone else said. That casts doubt on the more reasonable entries. There are annoying FP evangelists out there, but the overall tone pattern matches straw-manning.

You'd have made it easier for everyone taking the whole list seriously. Transparently mixing fact and fiction just makes it harder for people who aren't already part of a conversation.
