You have no reason to believe these are exactly the same people. Seems to me you are conflating them because you want to shit on people using guides and at the same time excuse yourself for being an ass because “tHey ArE hyPOcrItEs”.
Even if you were right, what is the problem with people wanting mechanical difficulty and using guides to learn how to master it?
I have a pair of HD 600. While I love them for music, I also am a bit sad for them to not have very good bass, which I think is very important for ambiance in a lot of games.
