To be honest, I understand that people get very attached to their work, and in a sense, if you attack their modules, you're attacking them. I'm sure I'd get upset if someone wrote long scathing criticisms of something I'd spent many years working on, even if they did start writing a better alternative; such a criticism can easily be seen to be personal, rather than objective. Even if it's done with benchmarks. -- "It is easier to fight for principles than to live up to them." -- Alfred Adler
