The selective blindness here is to look only at the bad things. The drawbacks mentioned exist, but they are in part there for reasons, in order to fix the issues of the previous solutions. An analysis that mentions only the bad things and conclude to recommend using the previous solutions without even discussing their own drawbacks is not worth our time. > If anything, the person who's blindly following a path is *you*.

When somebody spends one line answering the question and then pages “offering an alternative” by explaining things a baby sysadmin would already know, I deduce they are not much above the level of baby sysadmin themselves, and it cancels any trust I could have put in the one-line answer.
