Who is denying it? I am talking about a specific characterization of
it, which includes things like "hackers read SF, frequently quoting
out of it", "hackers like silly puns", etc. That sort of thing, as
I said, hurts the hacker image quite a lot. Have you seen it? I have.
Secondly, I am quite convinced about "what is right", myself. However,
I have learned that the way it's often represented is simply bad for
advocacy.
