Heh heh heh. It seems you've proved my point.

Like I said, the argument is not that there is only one way to do it, but
that there should be an obvious way to do it.

Further to this, there should "preferably" be only one obvious way to do it.
However, this does not preclude there being *more* than one obvious way to
do it.

But there should certainly never be *no* obvious way to do something.

With Zen, the more you read it, the less it means what you thought it meant.
Of course, in the end it may no longer mean anything at all ;-)
