Sure, but I did provide demonstration, that thread.  The OSS 
zealots repeatedly make arguments that are wrong, irrelevant, and 
worst, just completely out of left field.  This is a common 
pathology when you have decided on your conclusion and are 
arguing backwards from it: your arguments don't make any sense 
and come out of left field.

They have decided that open source is good and closed source is 
bad, just like the global warming zealots, and will make silly 
arguments to try and justify that, even to someone like me who is 
trying to carve out a place for open source.  You may agree with 
their conclusion and therefore defend their arguments, but any 
impartial observer wouldn't.
