This is only MHO but you should really get an idea and stick with it. It doesn't matter that you disagree, but you should at least stick to your guns when you do state your opinion. Waffling makes people think you do not know as much as you say and lessens their opinion of your expertise. We know that the old ways work for some people, if you beleive in that "old school" philosophy then stick to it. I use tap water and my tanks are great. I had it tested from the tap at the local pool store on their computer and determined that it would be fine to start with and then I could watch for signs of trouble. 2 years now and no excessive problems so far. However, most cities do not have exceptable water supplies not to mention that the water has to travel through pipes that have all kinds of junk in them. This is my opinion and does not necessarily reflect that of others on the channel. But it's mine and I stand by it.
