Hi I actually didn't answer you to give you the answer but to make you move :D I've read on you stackoverflow post that you were frustrated for 2 days over that two lines of code problem. That is severe procrastination if you ask me :D
My take on this is simple : If I need more than 30 minutes to find a solution to a problem that I know how to solve in 10 minutes in a ugly-but-productive fashion, then I switch to my solution. Once my project is released and if it is successfull enough for me to continue working on it then I will always be able to do some refactoring if I ever find a better solution. Beside, and it's a very personnal mindset, but the idea that you can pass different type of variables to a function to make it do the same thing does really not make it a good, readable, scalable, and easy to maintain code. When I write my code I always tend to have a "Different parameters, different method" rule. Again all of this is very personal and I think we fall in the "whatever works for you" zone here :D I'm not very good at english either so we're even :) Good luck on your project.
