Dude, I'm being genuinely curious about what "holy wars" he's talking about. So far I got:

  • a definition of "holy war" in this context
  • a snotty "shut up, only statisticians are allowed to talk about this topic"

... but zero actual answers, so I can't even tell if he's talking about some stupid overblown bullshit, or if he's just exaggerating what is actually a pretty low-key difference in opinion.

Ilya responded to your second paragraph not the first one. metric vs. imperial or flash vs. html5 are not good analogies.
