While I am following this conversation closely, I wanted to politely make a suggestion about something you said: "You misunderstand me. Almost everyone does." That sounds really frustrating. It's not clear from your post whether you mean this as "everyone who reads this comment does not understand me" or "people frequently misunderstand me"... but typically, someone who feels this way experiences this in the latter, general sense. Good news: it is possible to dramatically improve the ratio of people who understand you. It will, however, require that you change how you communicate some kinds of information. What I'm saying is that if people don't understand you, the first place you need to look is your own tools for communicating with people. Of course, what you are saying makes sense to you. But there's an intellectual fallacy at work if you assume that "almost everyone" is the problem and you are the solution. :) Have you ever heard the saying, "The only thing all of your crazy ex-partners have in common is you?" There are people who are tasked with explaining far more complicated concepts than source control who people claim to love learning from. That means there is hope for us all.
