Flames between devotees tend to crush the differences
between integrity and dogmatism. Finding out about
"The three amigos", (http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ThreeAmigos)
and Christopher Alexander
(http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~susan/bib/nf/a/alexandr.htm)
helps distinguishing between ideas and their straitjacketed
versions on the themes OO and patterns.
One warning, though: there is allways the danger
of getting more cynical.
You'll recognize even more BS as such.
