I never said anything about being smarter because I prefer EFI, but the FACT is that a carb cannot adjust itself; its a "set it and forget it" device, that is a FACT. Yes you can tune them, but to do so means disassembling them (several times) to change jets, power valves, etc. until you get it right, that is also a FACT. So if you want to drive your car somewhere that has a significant change in altitude, oh wait you will lose power because the carb cannot adjust itself... and that is a FACT.
Look, you can hate on technology all you like, you are also free to run whatever you like on your car, but to essentially say that technology is bad and anyone who takes advantage of it is falling for some type of BS is just wrong. If you want to run a carb and points, knock yourself out, doesn't mean everyone else has to. Same thing the other way, if "everyone" is running newer technology, you are free not to do so; but do not try and convince people that newer technology is bad because it isn't, and that sir is a FACT.
