Thanks. It brings a smile to my face how discussion forums take themselves so seriously, thinking they're all about robust discussion, but go batshit crazy on some dissenting points. I mean, this wasn't even flame war. I think a lot of it is about the medium, not the message. If you had a room of people, and I said that, maybe some engineer would have grumpily harrumphed and rolled their eyes, but I don't think it would have become a hate-fest or shouting match.

Think before you type, I guess. I do enjoy needling that narrow-mindedness like this tho, I think optimizing a little more for openness to experience is a good thing in the eng world.
