I don't think I disagreed with you.
I wanted to a) show how "one true syntax" would in itself be challenging and b) explain the utility that diversity has by analogy.
I agree that for most tasks, using a POSIX compliant unix-like system will suffice, but that's as much ground as I'm willing to concede on that point (for now ;)
