No. You don't understand the difference between doing things right, and 
doing them wrong. It's not about "what does it cost me". It's about doing 
a really stupid thing that doesn't even _solve_ the problem in a lot of 
real cases, and doing the _right_ thing that solves it for every case.

And the fact that people cannot see the difference between those two 
cases is sad.

And no, this is not about "developers" vs "users". Not at all. Everything 
that makes it wrong for developers makes it wrong for users too.
