You're right. I'm frustrated from years of arguing against FUD; I didn't mean to say that 100% of merge-folk are ignorant or afraid, or that none of them have well reasoned points. I should have written "I'm saddened by how often I run into staunch defenders of the merge flow who, when put to the test, can't execute the equivalent rebase" because it happens all the time.
