But what I don't understand is why is it so hard for someone to accept they're wrong on this list, thank the other person and just move on ?! Even when you've explained an attack that wasn't considered, you've explained why the assumptions of the scheme were wrong, you've mentioned previous precedents, and *technically* refuted the other person's claims. Still, people feel obliged to *stick* to their (wrong) positions, subtly "shift" their argument (using new adjectives or qualifiers), whatever, just as long as they don't have to accept they were, simply, wrong. That just sucks. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
