I am not sure what you did not like about the argument. What is really useless of relating languages to programming languages?

- Dewie 12y agoI'm referring to the "nothing is perfect argument". It gets used to muddy the water so that one can imply that it's all a wash. "Nothing is perfect" should be taken as a given on almost all topics, so it's useless except for as a dishonest rhetorical device. I don't like to compare programming languages and human languages, but for different reasons. (Hint: because they have so little in common.)
