I can only dream of having something even remotely close. You're talking to a person that co-wrote the PHP engine, twice, that led parts of a 3rd engine rewrite, that helped lead (although at a hands-off manner) a 4th engine rewrite, that wrote OPcache, and a bunch of other things - and yet you still feel confident to tell me that I have no idea what I'm talking - when talking about precisely that. If I were in your place, I'd be wondering "am I missing something?" and probably try to ask some clarifying questions before telling that other guy that he's clueless and/or lying. Even if I disagreed with that person on virtually everything. With that out of the way - the very short version is that there's nothing mutually exclusive about these statements. In fact, saying that means that you really do not understand what the idea is. There could be several reasons for that - but I'm willing to take the blame as perhaps I didn't make it entirely clear. I'll try to remedy that separately from this email.

You repeatedly talk to me in a condescending (text) tone, you're virtually always interpreting my words in the most negative and malicious way possible (and beyond), and you don't shy away from doing that publicly. You're being repeatedly disrespectful. Adding > cheers at the end does not change that.. I don't address you in such a disrespectful manner, neither should you. Please stop. Zeev
