Thanks; agreed; exactly the sort of thing I'm talking about. > the punishment for reading this stuff is the pain of living in a world full of people commenting who "didn't read the article." :p Yup. And watch them take us blindly into calamity after calamity because they can't be bothered to click a link.

This sort of thing pops up everywhere, I'm glad you pointed it out in words here because it's made me think about it a bit more clearly myself. For instance you get programming threads where people will spend pages arguing about whether something is more efficient than something else, hours of their time, before someone finally spends five minutes running an actual benchmark.
