Re: rather than worry about some arcane abstract extreme argument
You miss the point. If it wasn't comments vs. no-comments-needed it would be functional vs. imperitive, garbage collected vs. not, pure OO vs. C++, Java vs. C#, Scheme vs. Common Lisp, Pascal vs. C, Fortran vs. Algol, Cobol vs. sanity, 3GL vs. assembler, or if all else fails there's always XBox vs. Playstation, Atari vs. Amiga and Commodore vs. Spectrum.
As programmers, we need some way to vent the frustration. Any convenient two-sided religious war will do.
