Correct, more generally the problem is often absolutism, and presenting or applying ideas as absolute truths. All of the ideas have merit, they have cases where they work wonderfully, and a lot of places where they do not. This issue extends beyond programming patterns and paradigms, not only into the rest of technology but life in general. You cannot unsee this, you will start to see "worked for me"s being presented as "this is the solution to all things" everywhere. My first criticism to observation based conclusions anyone suggests is usually "that's subjective" and the following criticisms are usually exploring the parameters of that subjectivity, my partner is so tired of me saying this, because everything is subjective - I shouldn't need to say it, but we seem to live in a world where it's increasingly necessary to point out.
