Sometimes we read things in a way we expect something to be written, even 
though its not. This statement tells us you did just that.
Specifically; asking people to read the available research before stating 
opinions that are at odds with the consensus in that field is in no way trying 
to be authoritative.  Its calling to the decency of mailinglist etiquette.

Nobody is being 'shut up', its a request to put the time and effort into 
learning about things that are not exactly trivial or even intuitive things.
Its a counter to swiping off the table an argument with;
  "I think it is a minor issue"

Don't let that your lack of knowledge in some area hurt KOffice by blocking good 
efforts.
