A minority of people don't understand what my blog post is about or why I would post such a thing, so I'll summarise:
I wrote it, like most blogs, to organise my thoughts.
I don't write to convince anybody, mainly because it's pointless, it's not how to convince people.

Your post was quite convincing! I actually forwarded it to a fellow psychologist, trying to convince him to use it to convince his colleagues to change the way they teach programming in psych stats courses! It had some strong points that I never thought about, and well phrased!

Especially the part about personal sacrifices, that are necessary, if you want to change the word for the best. Here, we need to convince people who never used R to learn some R, so that they could work with students who use R. You offered some great motivation for that, I think!

Thank you! I'm so glad you're finding value in it.
