Eh, come on Larry. You're too smart for this crap (as are others, your
straw just broke the camel's back). Linus was just using an analogy to
illustrate some very valid points. All analogies break down when
applied to the nth degree. Insulting Linus because you've found a spot
where the analogy breaks is just ludicrous.
