I hate analogies, but you seem to like them, so I'll try one (and, just for you, I'll Kubricize it): If I told you I thought 2010: The Year We Made Contact was a better movie than 2001 because it explained things better, and that 2001 was outdated because life wasn't like that in 2001, you might disagree with me, but I am entitled to my opinion, right? If you later found out that I'd never seen 2001, you'd be pretty peeved that I'd make such a bold statement without any backing, even if I told you I'd "read a synopsis" or something.
My point is, you were building an opinion, and letting us know where you stand, but knowing that you've never seen the whole OOT, well, it just pulled the rug from underneath you. You don't have a leg to stand on.
