The one true REST explanation

I agree in principle, but not when applied to Martin Fowler. I doubt the guy who literally wrote the book on refactoring did so without any real-world experience.

Sure, there was a time he spent a lot of time building OO systems. I don't know how much time he's actually spent building ~distributed~ systems.

I like the book Refactoring too.

But I don't think the book, in itself, can cited as evidence that he's built large, real-world systems.

There's a big step between "no experience" and "major experience with large scale, distributed systems".

When I had six months of programming experience, I could do a fine rendition of the standard OO doctrines. With far more experience now, I can mostly describe how they fail to operate in the real world.
