Allow me to be blunt, since it's gone over your head again.  You have no idea
what you're talking about.  None of your "technical arguments" are
technical.  Your attempts to be the "better person" by offering up helpful
advice about how to have a technical discussion come off as egotistic and
naive, as there was a technical discussion happening long before you started
interjecting ridiculous hand-wavy assertions such as "overlays are
unsupported" and "cache is almost always up-to-date", and highly
hypocritical, as you manage to break most of the rules you lay out /later in
the very same post/.  You are being played with, Mr. Kitten, and statements
such as you quoted above are balls of yarn tossed your way to see how long it
takes you to pounce.  I'm tired of playing, as I'm sure you are.  So please,
let's be quiet now, and let the big people talk.
