That's your view.  The world needs a few people who always see things
in black and white.

I respect laziness a great deal.  But then, I respect a lot of other
things as well.  A language designer cannot afford to grind any ax to
the exclusion of all the other axes.  A language designer cannot even
afford to ignore the people who prefer to grind a particular ax.
