A Perfect Way to Rebut ANY Opinion Based Argument...

From part of the - if you want to contribute - documentation of an open source project I recently perused:

"For the sake of code consistency, project coherency, and the long-term
evolution of BRL-CAD, there are guidelines for getting involved.
Contributors are strongly encouraged to follow these guidelines and to
likewise ensure that other contributors similarly follow the
guidelines. There are simply too many religious wars over what
usually come down to personal preferences and familiarity that are
distractions from making productive progress."


that last bit pretty much applies to ANYTHING. CAD systems, Operating systems, Oil-Paint vs Acrylic, Tastes Great / Less Filling... etc.

So, the next time some SCHMUCK tries to convince you that your way simple isn't as good as theirs, tell them to bite you, quote the end of the previous paragraph, and agree to dissagree!... of course, you should listen for a minute or two, for the sake of possible insight into something you may have missed, but then blow them off anyway ;) hah! (or don't... it's your choice)
