Hmm, not a lot of comments on this. I guess there is a consensus on the matter (that, or no-one really gives a damn).



A lot of these sort of questions are, I think, badly framed. They are asked as if there is some definitive thing that is always right. The important thing, I think, is to get the principles and to use them to good effect depending on your needs. There are too many "knee jerk" decisions based on principles not really understood. I think, for example, that exceptions should be handled as soon as possible /as a rule/ but not always. I don't understand questions like "how do I decouple X from Y?". Does that mean: (1) "How do I decouple?" or (2) "How should I decouple in this case?". When the question are badly framed, they lead to "meandering" and I tend to disengage myself from the discussion because it is too time consuming to follow. This is what I think happened in this case.
