Eh, I'm extremely wary of people who think they have a silver bullet to everything and can speak in absolutes like this.

I have to say, you have a tendency on HN to chime in from the peanut gallery and be a bit unrelenting and even combative because jedberg does things differently.

That's a fair critique, and thank you for pointing it out. I try to always back up what I say with the reasons for what I say, but sometimes I get lazy or don't have time to write it all out. I too worry about folks who speak in absolutes, although in this case I happen to actually believe it.

The medium isn't always the best way to have a deep technical discussion unfortunately.
