>This is horrible, and reminds me of the programmer mentality in general. I come as a human asking a question, and instead of answering like a normal person, they grill me until I've proven something to them.

And even then they probably don't know the answer, and you will have wasted your time and keystrokes. That's why I never attempt to justify myself to someone just because they want me to. If I anticipate that a question I'm about to ask will engender a lot of "why are you doing it that way?" responses, I'll usually address it when I ask the question, but long ago, I got wise to the people who seem to think that if they don't know the answer to a question, it's the wrong question.
