It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

It's possible you can feel the difference between a stiff and a compliant wheel set, but it's entirely another thing if you'll gain anything in reality from throwing bunch of money for it.

There are some things you can pay some premium and feel the difference and benefit from though. Handlebars can be one of those, where upgrading to a more compliant carbon bar would reduce vibrations and make the riding more comfy, but there's other ways you should look into before that such as less tire pressure or softer grips
