When talking about static types you can't just take the union of all the best features in all type systems. Like if one gives you A but not B and another B but not A, you can't say static typing gives you A and B. You're going to write your code in just one of them!

I'm thinking of how
@skamille occasionally pokes the code review hornets' nest by asking a very specific, nuanced question about the overhead of code review, which people inevitably read as "CODE REVIEW: GOOD/BAD???" What's an example XOR question? -
It usually won't be phrased with an XOR and will instead be phrased like "I'm looking for a car that has 4 doors or is a hatchback, but not both"

In the context of blogs, people who write posts with structured arguments (e.g., Ben Kuhn, Jeff Kauffman) almost exclusively get "bad" comments since a reasonable comment would require reading something more complex than a sentence with an AND or XOR, which is already impossible?

But for posts like PG's recent post or other widely read thought leader-y posts, comments actually seem better? What can you say to "haters are generally losers"? The posts are basically a series of rorschach tests, people can pick out any phrase and respond with their feelings.
