Very true, this happens because people take the idea's and make them do or
die. Just last night in chat, people were saying "I can't build this
because it doesn't fit in with the "B" in BEAM." Yes BEAM is fun, but it's
not always practical. Not to sound like a personal attack, but with all
this talk of evolution people spend time sitting on their asses typing
emails, and not building robots. I've only seen you attacking BEAM and not
building anything.
