> "No well-actuallys. "Well, actually, you can do that without a regular expression."" I don't think that's quite what is meant by "well-actually". In Miguel's blog, he gives the example of someone injecting a non-sequitur well-actually to shift attention to themselves and their superior intellect. The reg-ex example given isn't (necessarily) an example of that. I can easily imagine a situation where I'm discussing some code with someone and if they're using a regex for something that's easily achieved without one, it's almost universally a good idea to do the other thing and I should point that out. That's not "showcasing my superior intellect", it's teaching.
