Be fair! He didn't surrender; he simply didn't engage.

  1. He started with opinion and dogma:
    I disagree with the contention that requirements always change. I see it as a euphemism used to excuse laziness in gathering requirements.
  2. And when I responded with challenge and irrefutable evidence.
  3. He knee-jerked & prevaricated
  4. When that was met with a spoon feeding
  5. He responded (typically for his ilk) by attacking the format rather than the content of the message.
  6. And when that opinion was further met with authoritative refutation...
  7. He attempted assassination by condescension

At no point did he offer evidence in support of his opinion; but he didn't so much surrender, as simply 'shut up'; which was probably wise.

Anyone got any experience of this phone's predecessor?

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". I knew I was on the right track :)
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
I'm with torvalds on this Agile (and TDD) debunked I told'em LLVM was the way to go. But did they listen!
