Caveat Lector

Ideologues

Me, to Simon, on technological ideologues: “They’ve never seen a problem they can’t solve because they resolutely ignore problems they can’t solve.”

Which is, if I do say so myself, remarkably descriptive of more than a few people I know, talking about more than a few technologies, from RDBMSes to MARC to markup to the Semantic Web.

Why is it that folks have a hard time hearing “this is great, but it doesn’t solve my problem”?
