It's like the arguments you get about the SW Universe on Space Battles sometimes, I think some people get so carried away with the technical side of things that they forget it's all make believe anyway.
For my part, if I can look at a ship and say..'Oh look, an X-Wing' without hesitation then the model works, I don't really care if the wing seperation is 0.56 Degrees out or whatever

Especially since multiple, subtly different models were used throughout the series, it's kind of hard to decide what is exactly canon anyway.
That said, there's nothing wrong with constructive criticism, and the technophiles have helped make Star Wars the rich, varied universe it is, without them, I'm sure the EU wouldn't be half as varied and interesting as it is.
