Ive had this pedantic-ness in the past. I've noticed the obsessive compulsive behaviour of being attached to code. People I had to work with cared more about having every for-loop contain a ++i instead of i++ when generally most compilers optimize for that. They ignored the fact that I pointed out a problem in their architecture and basically told me to get on with it. If someone is attached to code and takes offence because you gave constructive criticism, they shouldnt be in the job.

>> they shouldn't be in the job

or may be we should find a job where constructive criticism is part of the culture and you then leave the current job! Relatively easier to find where the change exists than investing effort to bring about a change.
