But it is actionable. Each and every time you chose a certain technology (FP over OOP, immutable vs. mutable state, static typing vs. dynamic typing, shared vs. specific terminology), we make a choice. These choices together drive our community towards a certain mode of programming. So, your argument is true for individuals, but for the community it is void. Together we should focus on identifying correct, effective, simple and reliable building blocks on which we can build our larger systems. Perhaps you haven't seen "Simple made easy" by Rich Hickey, which illustrates this concept rather well.
