I also need to get my head around the fact that sharing something
problematic has sparked more of a conversation and reflection than
being precise. In some senses, this bothers me. At the same time,
inciting people to think is exactly what I want. So I am feeling very
bewildered. Is the way to make change to present something problematic
so that people have to engage by disagreeing? Hmm..
I will make a nicely self-referential response by noting that Eric
Raymond said something very similar in _The Cathedral and The Bazaar_ [1].
