This argument has little power with the intended audience, because the |
| 10 |
software you are intent on bringing to another system is precisely the |
| 11 |
software one like myself is complaining about for its being |
| 12 |
difference-intolerant due to bad system design. We do not like |
| 13 |
it. Besides which, there _are_ other criteria by which to judge |
| 14 |
software. |
