I stand by the statement that the slider is less accurate.

You're standing by a foolish statement, then.

Read up on them.

Why? He's not the one having problems. You are! Perhaps you should be
trying to figure out why your saw doesn't work as well as his (and mine).
You're obviously doing something wrong.

I don't really care how YOU 'feel' about yours,

He wasn't talking about "feelings." He was relating his experience. He
*tested* the two saws against each other. His experience is worth a lot
more than your opinion, especially given *your* comparison:

BAD I use a sled. By
using a moving blade and the Bies fence I can quickly cut a number of
boards to exact length and the cut is cleaner than what comes off my
Dewalt, even using an 80 tooth blade. A moving WWII gives a better cut
than the 80 Dewalt. Plus the DeWalt is thin kerf and it WILL flex when
cutting wider boards, even those that aren't very thick, and YES, even
if I go pretty slowly

You make a lot of mistakes here. Example 1: you use the Bies fence for
cross-cutting. Either you don't know what you are doing, or you aren't
explaining it properly. If you *are* using a stop block, then the fact
that it's on a Bies fence means nothing. If you aren't, then you are
inviting problems crosscutting with the fence on a tablesaw. Equal
accuracy (and better, for longer stock) can be achieved with a stop block
setup on the miter saw. Example 2: A "moving WWII"? In a tablesaw? Or are
you talking about the fact that the blade rotates? Like the "80 Dewalt"
doesn't? You just don't make sense. Example 3: You now have started
comparing the blades, thus changing the topic. Example 4: You complain
about not getting straight cuts, and blame it on the type of blade. You
have misdiagnosed the problem. Either your blade is bad, or your saw is
misaligned. But the problem is not attributable to the blade's thin kerf,
nor to the fact that it is being used on a SCMS.

These things seriously jeopardize your credibility.
