I tried, but I think I failed.. I guess its more indifference. Possibly I just dont like a compiler telling me how to code. i.e. if I want to use globals, or symrefs, thats my problem. It allows them quite specifically, so why can't we use them? That's not to say that I do liberally (most of my globals are probably unintentional..). So rather than turn the thing (which, as we all know, is optional, else it'd be built-in :)on, and turn it off for bits of code where I need it, I leave it off.

It's pretty amazing that this is such a discussion point in this TMTOWTDI language (sorry broquaint, paraphrased your words there).. It's like some sort of religion, in fact in my case more so.. Some say 'you must' some 'you musn\'t', and me, I don't really give a *wotsit*. (In both cases ,)

Did that explain any better? Probably not.. So I'll stick with my 'I\'d rather debug myself and be better at coding for it, than let some pragma do it for me.' reason.. Pick one..

The general consensus seems to be that without 'strict', you code badly. I don't agree. (And several people that have seen my code don't seem to either..)
