> Sorry for the rant No problem here. I deleted a rant turning into a screed about blog articles superimposing "The Book of Dragon" and "The Dragon Book", but after some consideration found this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Graham%27s_Hierarchy_of_Disagreement-en.svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Graham%27s_Hierarchy_of_D... With respect to "refuting the central point", if in the OP it is "Performance engineering should be about knowledge and science, not superstition and myth. (Godbolt not Godwin?)", then I agree. See: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-172-performance-engineering-of-software-systems-fall-2018/ https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-172-performance-engineering-of... [I think Graham's hierarchy of disagreement ought to be used to color down votes, especially here.]
