I think that there something extra to add here. The 8 fallacies are real, and
have caused some really ineffective designs of distributed systems. When I
asked "Do I really care about which protocol", I really wanted to say "should I
compromise my design to take advantage of a particular protocol". I.e. as soon
as I am dependent on transport/transfer, I've introduced the 9th fallacy,
"Everyone speaks the same transport/transfer protocol as is hard coded in the
application."
