So what? It still works as expected or desired by me.

Yes, and in that context, your opinion may be useful. But it's still an 
opinion.

Ah, but it is relevant to your claim something that works is "always 
better" than something that doesn't.

Oh, I wouldn't have bothered, but you used "always", and I was bored. 
Don't use "always" when you are expressing an opinion.

It may comfort you to know that I agree with your advice to get a 
newsreader that does what he wants.

Have good day,
