I think you may have entirely misread davorg's article (originally given as a talk during 2001,) taking it literally rather than humourously as I know the author intended. Or maybe I'm missing something in your comments. What I do know is that davorg has more than most done what the OP is suggesting, taking good Perl to the outer fringes of the cargo cult, blind leading the blind world in forums that people here would baulk at.

davorg's talk was in a long tradition, perhaps epitomised by Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal

Update: I had forgotten Dave's other talk he gave that year, which balances things nicely.
