Saying "just get a Fahg Mini and an Evo Mini" is misleading, because people have different types of frame, different anchor objects, different ways of carrying their locks and different budgets.
However, the first post of the thread is all the information you need if you're simply after security – and frankly, what else is a lock for? Dan's correct in that respect.
The best thing to do is probably let people ask questions, point out what they need to consider and the consequences of not getting it right, then let them make their own mistakes if they want to tie their bikes up with a skipping rope.
You're both right.
