This is 100% true of course, but just as with HTTP itself, the world
of technologically-inept morons who can spot a potential marketing
mechanism in ANYTHING have perverted it beyond all recognition. HTML5
is cleaning some of it up, but man, what a mess these kids have made of
things.
And to add insult to injury, when you try to teach them about any of
this, they assume the "that's just your opinion!" attitude...which is
pretty damn arrogant coming from people who have no idea of where this
stuff came from or why it was brought into existence in the first place.
People Who Weren't There, in other words, trying to tell People Who
Were There about stuff.
