Oh come on!

1) Be professional. There's really no need for this attitude.
2) I've never claimed anything remotely close to what you say, I'm merely
pointing out the restrictions of one specific approach (and as I've said,
I'm using this approach myself right now!).
3) Software is quite often about trying to write components that are as
general as possible. It's called code-reuse and is usually thought of as a
good thing.
