Ah, I see. There is no need to actually give arguments against Jon's
position: It's automatically discredited by the fact that he makes a
living from his know-how which also implies that he MUST be
wrong. Absolutely.

We should probably handle our relationship to medical doctors the same
way: Not believing their diagnosis since they are -- GASP -- earning
money from their practice.

Or just wait -- now I see, it's all because Jon has no timber
reinforced concrete in his base structure libraries and is trying to
push a rebar book. It's all about architecture. Now there!

Well, well.
