Yeah. If you ever watched any of the old MIT lectures with Abelson, the most fundamental point they make is that it's only possible to make a complex system by essentially treating components as a black box. Having a bunch of crap implementing IDisposable when you don't intend that it should ever be disposed, and then chastising people for not going to the implementation to see that the Dispose method is empty, illustrates a sort of confused mindset.
