Frankly, I'm realy puzzled by these repeated references by people 
who long to be able to select with a single click. Perhaps it's 
because I find it insanely simple to just Ctrl-click to select. Or 
am I somehow delusional?

Yes, I think we could all agree that choice is good.

I really need to re-iterate my previous point about repetitive 
strain disorder, though. To me, defaulting to a single click costs 
nothing. Since it's trivially easy to change to double-click, the 
arguments against a single click default are entirely spurious. Not 
defaulting to single click is like saying it's not necessary that 
public buildings be wheelchair accessible.

Let's not forget, we're young, virile, muscle-bound. iron-pumping 
code jockeys right now but wait just a few years of mousing 12 to 
16 hr a day and we'll see who argues for two clicks when one might 
do.
