I've been following this debate with great interest. One big question comes to mind: Why would someone use the apostrophe construct in the first place if he intended to perform arithmetic calculations using the cell content? I understand ending up with a text string rather than a number by forgetting to use VALUE() on a substring in a formula but even that seems to fall into the category of a "cockpit error" rather than an "aircraft design flaw" as is being implied on one side of this debate.
