TripAdvisor is a very interesting place with a definite philosophy built in. Part of it is the "not enough time" mantra. The other theme that pervades the place is the notion that everyone who travels wants to travel on pennies/day no matter what. I did some of my research for a recent trip to Vietnam- 12 days on the ground in Vietnam- an I got the vibe that some folks were aghast at the notion of flying from Da Nang to Hanoi (rather than taking a sleeper train), let alone actually spending the appallingly high price of $50 for tickets on the more reliable Vietnam Airlines. Seriously? We have TWELVE DAYS. Do you really think I want to waste an entire night's sleep or risk wasting an entire day to save twenty bucks??? Je ne comprend pas......

Oh well. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
