It's one thing to observe a flaw in a language. It's another to use that flaw as justification for an application's failure to conform to that language. I don't see at all how one has to do with the other. On an unrelated note, I noticed that I can see better out of my right eye than my left eye. So, to improve my driving, I started driving on the left side of the road instead of the right side. I'm sure that will be a great improvement.
