My Pooh can kick your Propertius' butt: "When you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things, you find sometimes that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it."

We are all creatures of our experience; and that experience is different for each of us. What this thread established once again was that we often talk at cross purposes here because we are so different, see the world refracted through so many different epistemes. There is, I am sure, a place for non-reentrant, unserialized code in some universe of discourse, but not in mine. My objections to it are intellectual certainly, but they are also visceral.
