I can answer that! Yo were saying that the one way is the true way, and if there was only one way then everyone would be happy. The most perfect example of that is the Microsoft interface. Microsoft makes it very hard to replace things with other interfaces. So not only is the one way the true way, it is the easy way and for all intents and purposes, the only way. Others have seen the one way and spit upon it. They have gone through the trial s and tribulations to rip out the one way, and replace it with a different and presumably better way. I posit that the existence of Windows Explorer replacements shows conclusively that the One Size Fits All does not fit everyone well.
