Perhaps I am wrong but it seems like the majority of comments posted before you posted this were actually directed at a poster that criticized you, and not at you at all.
As for your analysis, I think it is pretty much undisputed that this crop does not appear particularly strong at this point.
However, I am a bit confused by your statement regarding "the absence of ANY legitimate quality three year olds that can go ten furlongs." Looking at past performaces and pedigree, I think it is reasonable to think that Street Sense, Great Hunter, and Circular Quay MIGHT be effective going 10f. Great Hunter and CQ in particular are both by sires that did their best running at 10f and beyond, and Street Sense's sire won the richest 10f race in the world! Of course, we never know for sure until they do it, and we all know that pedigree isn't everything, but I think it might be a bit early to write off the entire crop's effectiveness at that distance.
