It is a compounding problem. Folks cargo cult from each other and than
point to the cargo culting as proof that their use is the correct use
obfuscating the opportunity for them to clearly understand the original

I'm actually surprised as many folks have spent time replying as did
reply since the intended audience for this post was those who never

incorrectly since they think copying other people passes for knowledge.
