No, no need for that at all.

After all, why should you know who wrote Postfix, or sendmail, or Perl, or
SpamAssassin?   More important that you know how to use them, or how to
choose between them, than you know their history or their authors.

In fact, I think yours was an excellent question - "why does this person's
opinion matter?"   Too many people would have accepted it, or dismissed it,
on their own prejudice, without asking if he had a valid point to make.

Antony.
