LOL, kind of like the 18th century witch hunts where the witches cry, "If you must burn me at the stake, at least put me to trial by jury of OTHER WITCHES!" Imagine how that would have gone over :P

Bad analogy. Nobody is being punished for being software engineers.
But isn't this an ironic example, because the witches weren't actually witches, it's just that the normal observer could be convinced they were?
