Whatever, Andy. You can argue all you want, and for all I care you
can change the book to put it in /usr. I know how I want my systems.

The book is wrong on that phrase as it applies to X. There are many
packages that expect to find X in a place other than /usr.

Notice I said earlier, "the expected method and location". Let's
just leave it at that then, if "default" bothers you so much.

Here's something to think about as well:

I probably could have found more, but I think you get the point.
