It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I don't know about the efficiency claims. Chain drive is the most efficient power transfer method we have for bicycles far and away. Changing to a shaft drive with a bunch of gears in between is not as efficient and heavier. Certainly maintenance and durability will be much better, but that's not what they're claiming.
