See: "rocket surgeon", or "enough rope to shoot yourself in the foot".
Also: jashkenas wrote Backbone.
Seriously?! My fellow nerds drive me insane sometimes with their ridiculous focus on details that mean absolutely nothing. Arrrrrgh.

I always assume people nitpicking pointless details have nothing better to say, but still want to say something. Plus, look how smart he/she looked.
Mixing metaphors? Is it a horse or a ship you are riding?
It's really hard to read the rest of your technical reasoning (which makes sense) with opening statements like that.
