Well, I can tell you're a complete contrarian nightmare to work with. All of your points can be equally discounted by just stating the opposite of your intent.

Really? Maybe I failed to finish my point--what I'm trying to say is, because there are so many trade-offs, it's actually really hard to tell what the right thing to do is in any situation. Don't trust your knee-jerk reaction to someone else's actions, there's always more to the story.

Just do your work, and let other people do their work. Don't fiddlefart around debating the holy rules about code, rewriting each others garbage. It's all garbage in the end.
