That blog post doesn't address the worst-case running time argument, and doesn't measure worst-case running time costs, since it measures batches of 5000 operations at a time. And hey, it's about a workload that totally obviates worst-case

What's condescending is your taking guesses at what's better for people and assuming they don't know what's better for themselves instead of just looking at their behavior.

It doesn't really matter, except that if they got a Software Engineering degree from a university that offers both, they're probably a soulless cretin. (The actual manner in which their education is judged is based on the quality of the un
