I'll admit that I don't know Michael at all, outside of my interactions
with him on mailing-lists.  

I don't agree with Halcrow's views on this issue, but I don't know the
reasons behind his feelings, nor do I feel that I (or anyone else) has
the right to judge his views as stupid.

As much as I disagree with Halcrow, I certainly do *not* think he's
stupid.  I respect the fact that he knows a *ton* more about programming
and software development than I do, and he has successfully accomplished
projects that I can't even hope to be able to do at some point in my
life.  

Judging someone as stupid (or smart) based on their views on a single
subject is poor form, and generally very incorrect.
