if my companion says "I am cold" on a warm day in the shade, then it is a valid complaint, since they probably do feel cold. You express empathy for the readers with "valid complaint" and from an educational, empathy point of view, sure, agree. Are regex's used by more people, or less people, than in 1999? Do people read, write and use them in code? for editing HTML pages? of course it is trivially true. That guy was saying to software developers "don't use regex it is a problem not a solution" .. I was there!
