<rant>Alright, that does it! Who is responsible for this "straw-man" abuse that is becoming too commonplace in the Spark community? "Straw-man" does not mean something like "trial balloon" or "run it up the flagpole and see if anyone salutes", and I would really appreciate it if Spark developers would stop using "straw-man" to mean anything other than its established meaning: The logical fallacy of declaring victory by knocking down an easily defeated argument or position that the opposition has never actually made.</rant>
