Actually, while my memory isn't what it used to be, I suspect the article may have been "I Did Read Jack O'Connor." It was in response to Dave Scovill's column in RIFLE about how he never read Jack O'Connor, especially when growing up in Oregon, because nobody he ever knew read O'Connor. Which, as he pointed out, was why he never had any use for the .270. (Much like the Campfire members who've never used it, yet know they wouldn't like it--or any number of other cartridges.)
Apparently there's a strong contingent of hunters who only believe in personal experience. This isn't unusual in humans, but if all humans believed the same thing not much advancement would have taken place over the past few thousand years, since among other things, rifles and their cartridges would never have been invented.
