i can't stop being fascinated by how some people reply "i don't understand this" or "i don't know why" or "... for some obscure reason" to a post that precisely explains exactly why they do not understand. is this like #perl, those people are #writeonly and can't read?

Who could have figured out that automatically downloading half the internet and ten thousand always-changing dependencies every time you build could actually be a weakness?
