you can't argue the science with opinion.
What science? You didn't present anything that was scientific to back up what you were saying. I notice you changed what you originally wrote and edited out the word science with facts. It's understandable when you can't find a scientific journal to back up what you're saying. But I can.
Barnett, C., Kippers, V., and Turner, P. (1995). Effects of variations of the bench press exercise on the EMG activity of five shoulder muscles. Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. 9(4): 222-227.
Here is one of the conclusions they reached during the study:
"Employing the decline press to recruit the sternocostal head of the pectoralis major is not justified because the EMG activity obtained from the horizontal press with either hand spacing exceeds that elicited durng the decline press."
