So he invested time in building up his straw-man before tearing it down?

The problem with being in such a rush to confirm your own worldview is that you don't learn anything from anyone else's. The 'worse is better' philosophy is about valuing simplicity over completeness, specifically in the context of UNIX/C vs Lisp machines back in the 80s. How do you think most of those people feel about, say, the STL?
