Sure, maybe the analogy isn't logical.

> It's also logical to kill young children with autism so they don't become a financial or emotional burden on their family or society as a whole. It turns out claiming something is logical isn't, itself, enough of a reason to do something and those doing so should endeavor to give more convincing arguments.

That's an analogy, and we are talking about a programming language - not humans.

Again, where is the passion in the original comment? I have asked for nothing more than that.

Is it your supposition that asbestos was banned for non-human reasons?

Or does this "logic" only work when convenient for your own defenses?
