   You haven't shown any code.  You haven't made any technical   
   arguments.  You haven't shown any data.  You've just thrown out   
   insults and made a bunch of vague assertions about...something;   
   none of it really makes a lot of sense.   
      
   Anyway, ad hominem attacks are not persuasive, either.
