If you believe in the epistemic power of "studies" to convey useful information in these domains, I have bad news for you - you are the one in a religious fervor. The only semi-objective metric you've proposed is compiled c

Where did I say that FP was obviously beneficial? You're reading too much into my question. I was questioning the GP's epistemology. > talking like engineers rather than sales people. They do talk like this - go to any Haskell

What is the point of making this 3D when it seems to be circularly symmetric? Just replace the circle with a line and make it 2D, yeah?
