Arguing that X is bad because you've seen bad examples of X isn't
very convincing, unless you can show that there are no /good/
examples of X.
I'm not trying to argue that X is bad. I'm just pointing out that in *my*
experience I find X hard to maintain in general terms, and consequently I
don't like to inflict X on other people (including myself). Clarity takes
precedence over religion.
I think we agree on that last sentence. And, in practice, I suspect
our code might be more alike than disputes like this might suggest.
Is "Clarity takes precedence over religion." a religion?
