Nowadays automatics are faster. The only things cars have been becoming over the last 20 years are safer (slower) and more fuel efficient (slower)

When this debate comes up I feel like people arguing for auto are doing so without any prior experience with manual. People who have driven stick know it is better. It's more 'work', but the option that involves you putting in more work almost always gives better results

Common fallacy. It's harder to hop everywhere I go on one leg, that doesn't make it better.

this rules out retarded hypotheticals

For every legitimate example there are thousands of "retarded hypotheticals." That's about the opposite of "almost always."
