Exacerbating the number of ways you can count the disparate but
indistinguishable sets of angels dancing on the head of a pin serves
no legitimate purpose save to further elevate the priesthood of the
triviamasters above neophyte and acolyte alike by needlessly
injecting
the abstruse into the quotidian, thereby reducing the already
debatable accessibility of Perl by those common masses who need it
most--all because of the irrepressible urge by the destructively
clever to continue unfettered these labyrinthine embellishments,
gratuitous nuances of surpassing subletly and dubious utility. Let
your true be true and your false be false, and add not to the
already
confusing number of falsehoods, lest the resulting eminently
confusable shadings be forever beyond the ken of mortal men trying
to get their jobs done without first subjecting themselves to
decades
of monastic study.
