Many of us use tools without fully understanding everything about them. If
we say something that demonstrates a lack of understanding, to more
knowledgeable or more experienced people, it is helpful if they point out
the path to truth. Even if people don't agree on everything a little
friendly debate is healthy. We tend to learn in depth where we need to and
gloss over other stuff. If we quit listening to the experience of others we
quit learning except from our own screw-ups. Sometimes we don't even learn
from screw-ups if we can't figure out what caused them. Negative experience
is learning how not to do something. Sometimes a lot of negative experience
will still not show one the right way to do it. I have a lot of negative
experience. /jmac

Again, that was certainly not my intent in my last post on the thread.
What bothers me, and I tend to respond to, is incompletely informed
characterization of a class/group/brand/whatever of tool based on
comparison of an example not properly suited to the job at hand to an
example better suited to the job from another class of tool.
