Alex Payne — Mending The Bitter Absence of Reasoned Technical Discussion

Alex Payne — Mending The Bitter Absence of Reasoned Technical Discussion: Choice quote:
why is something you can measure controversial? Are we not engineers? Is this not Computer Science? Why are we discussing the performance of software as if it were a matter of faith, or opinion, or preference? If you disagree, simply run an experiment. Did we somehow lose our Enlightenment values on the way to Web 2.0?
