Taking your advice, I think those unarticulated wants are
1. I want to believe that <tool/product/language> is always the most
<reliable/low-cost/other attribute> choice for such things.
2. I do NOT want to see or hear any sort of studies that might
threaten that belief.
And yes, there are people who would put Ada or Eiffel in the first
set of brackets.
