I think the interchange of ideas is great.

But I will say that I think the high school BS is, well, high school BS. Seems to me that if a person has a reason for chosing a particular mechanism, an idea that they think is worth using, they could articulate it. If it can't be described, it probably isn't worth doing. So to rely on an emotional argument for me is hollow words.

When kids brag about how fast their cars are, it's usually because they're scared to go to the race track and get a time slip, lest their fantasy be smashed.
