Rule: (Theorem)
Anything that appears to be flame-bait, actually is.

Ahhh....

I wonder if we can say "flame-bait is isomorphic to text editor wars, c.f. vi vs emacs".

Corollary:
Not matter what you say, no matter how much experience
you have, no matter how much evidence you have, someone
will always either:
(a) violently disagree with you to their death bed, inviting more
posts on the subject or any other subject that appears to be flame
bait.
-or-
(b) Misunderstand everything and post something worthless
possibly inviting more posts on the subject or any other subject
that appears to be flame bait.

Heh...
