Maybe a blog post that Tim Berners Lee wrote during the standardization of HTTP.

I agree with your general point that the Federalist Papers aren't quite the same as a random blog post. But to extend that analogy further, if I'm implementing HTTP, should I base my implementation on things only found in a blog post by Tim Berners Lee?

Don't get me wrong, the Federalist Papers are important historical documents and provide unique insight into the minds of the authors. But they're not laws, and treating them as if they have actual legal significance seems wrong.

You are equating a blog post to a paper written by a small group of citizens that dared to risk station, family, and life, to pursue a dream for a nation (not selfish ends), which put them directly in the cross hairs with the superpower of the time?

You haven't pissed off anyone. People are downvoting because your comments sounds like they're coming from an edgy 14 year old who wants to shock his parents. You've clearly never given any thought to political philosophy, and your comment gets pushed to the bottom so it won't waste other's time.

I'm not American, I do not admire American nationalism or jingoism. Nor do I admire people who spew nonsense in order to look like rebels against the man.
