I call BS on this statement. Oh come on, you don't think we're a nation of complainers and whiners? I'd be first in line to moan about nearly everything. You name it, I'll moan about it.
Today's "groan" here on CC? Others making global statements about the "reliability, power and quality" of an alloy block versus a cast iron block when at least 8 of 9 (jkg2101 excepted) chose alloy over cast iron for the 125 lbs weight savings.
Here's my global statement (maybe a question) for the day. Why in the world would "you" drop an engine with a cast iron block into a Kirkham or alloy CSX? Aren't all the alloy bodied Cobra owners afraid that their alloy bodies might require more maintenance, dent more easily, etc.? Aren't alloy bodies more "fickle" than fiberglass bodies? Don't lean against it? Don't drop any tools on it? And if you own a BNL (bare naked lady), HOLY COW, the extra work to keep it polished is ENORMOUSLY time consuming (it's not). Aluminum is quite "fickle."
IMO, there's a disconnect of grand proportions there.
