Yes, and you'd likely ask other parents of codas who have been there, done that. But wouldn't you put more value on your own judgment having synthesized all that great input, over a statement of what you should do from an individual without professional expertise relevant to your child, without experience raising a coda, without knowledge of ASL? One example might be an anti-ASL oral-only proponent: should we insist that the right thing for you to do us to take this person's advice because he knows what it's like to raise a child with a different state of hearing?
I think that person has every right to be telling you how and why he made decisions, but NOT to tell you what you should do. And I don't think you should have to face pressure from others in this board to take that advice if you don't agree with it.
