If you are wondering why I'm inflammatory, here you go. You are 
pulling me the old prove a negative trick. You have good evidence 
that DIP25 is good design ? Good, because I have none. And that's 
my proof. As long as I have no evidence that DIP25 is good, DIP25 
is bad.

I don't think grepping for return will have a good noise to 
signal ratio. You also mentioned several time that you have good 
evidence that DIP25 rox. Yet, every time you post that without 
any evidence, I'm a bit more convinced that none exists.
