Comment 1309 for bug 1

My Gran always warmed to pot before brewing tea.

I have made her tea several times without warming the pot.
She never complained about my tea, in fact she said it was quite nice.

She saw me doing it once and complained.
"But I never warm the pot, Gran"

Did she:
A. Complain that she always thought there was something wrong with my cups of tea.
B. Decide that warming the pot didn't seem necessary and not do it in future.

The moral of the story is:
1. People are funny and not logical.
2. You can't tell someone that something is better and expect them to believe you even if it is glaringly obvious.
3. Crowd mentality and entrenched beliefs are more powerful than logic.

Open source software, like mathematics and literature, is always going to be there.
