I actually think the biggest upside to being a zealot is the social media marketing. 37Signals gets extra blog traffic because of their self righteous positions. The sensationalism drives interest.

Of course, they back that up with a very solid product that many of the same people reading their startup/small business opinions have a need for, making it a very solid strategy for them.

So for your average reader, I recommend taking everything with a grain of salt, pluck out the good ideas and filter everything through you BS lense.
