Anyway OP, I'm sorry, but this is a fundamental compatibility issue that probably can't be resolved.
I don't think they're trying to change OP's mind so much as say that using that experience to inform that decision is maybe not the best idea because its so different.
Like if I said, I don't like chicken because I hate mcdonald's chicken nuggets. That's a really narrow experience of chicken, I would be pretty stupid to write off chicken because I don't like those nuggets. Maybe I try some other chicken and end up really not liking chicken! That's cool, better for the environment! But I shouldn't let THAT be what seals the deal for me.
