....there is no other excuse for 95% of all that's written on these boards.

But that's true for the academic and scientific worlds as well.

And I would never join a club that would have me as a member. Do people join asylums willingly? Not usually. We come to them for the company and stay because of the pills.

I'm sure that you don't take infotainment reviews of 'high end' products seriously, do you? It's largely a sales and marketing effort.

'Objectivity' is nothing more than 'subjective agreement' anyway.

Think about the word 'subject'. It can mean something we study, or someONE we study, or it can mean a person who studies (as opposed to an object, which is just the thing studied.) Words can confuse even at the same time that they enlighten.

Come to think of it, try to find an objective definition for the difference between 'client' and 'server'. Or master and slave.

Both are necessary, and neither exist without the other. You can even try to be stupid without being intelligent. It doesn't work.

Cheers.
