Not taking technical sides in this thread simply because I have no time to |
27 |
argue it at length, BUT: |

Simply because a topic has been discussed to *death* does not mean the |
30 |
correct answer was obtained, only that a majority agree it is what they |
31 |
want. And while consensus may be enough to be considered 'right' in social |
32 |
situations(politics, etc.), the second the discussion becomes technical the |
33 |
opinion of the masses becomes irrelevant. All that then matters is getting |
34 |
the technical part objectively right, which IS possible, despite what some |
35 |
may say. |
