Because they listen to urban legends instead of reading the documentation
themselves. I'm not the only one here to have done things in MVS that
"can't be done". Some of those things had been around for decades and the
word still hadn't gotten out.
BTW, don't fall for the claim that the syndrome is limited to mainframe
programmers; if anything it's worse with the PC types.
