No, No, NO! Symbolic references are not stupid, just extremely powerful. There are many perfectly smart reasons to use symbolic references. It just so happens that 99% of all of the actual usages are stupid.

Please note that I said symbolic references instead of real ones is legal, but stupid.. It's okay to use them if real references are not an alternative.

I did not say using symbolic references stupid no matter what. I use symbolic references in a lot of places. Just not where real references are usable.
