Schreiber's EE Arguing On the Internet Flowchart
- Someone without engineering degree/25+ years of experience asks a perfectly reasonable quesion, but requires engineering knowledge to understand the 'proper' answer.
- Engineer gives a simplified answer, which is 'correct' but counters the premise of the asked question.
- 12 people watching the thread immediately respond "but I do the bad thing, and the bad thing WORKS GREAT FOR ME!"
- Engineer calmly explains the bad thing is relatively bad, there are MUCH BETTER things out there and really, please use the better thing.
- OP is confused: why are there 'better things' when the 'bad thing' is working? Is the 'bad thing' bad? What does 'bad' mean?
- Engineer tries 1 more time to explain why the 'better thing' really is better.
- 18 MORE people chide the engineer, saying you are just paranoid/uptight/wrong/arrogant/whatever, Hey, OP! Just use the 'bad thing' because IT WORKS FOR ME!
- GOTO 4
I took the liberty of adding the last step to ensure the madness never ends...
