"That is why the "mindless bashing" is so important."
Totally fair, but then, I chose the descriptor "mindless" for a good reason. I used it to distinguish a certain type (a subset, if you will) of bashing, i.e., the senseless kind. Not all bashing is senseless, but a lot of it is.
There is certainly justified bashing, of the "Some schmucky MBA I've never met just emailed me and asked me to code his Facebook-meets-Amazon-meets-Holodeck project for $1000" variety. That kind of bashing makes sense.
But the carpet-bashing of all MBAs, or of the MBA-qua-MBA, has perhaps grown a little stale.
(Did I really just use the phrase "carpet-bashing"?)
