it's of course a variation of

    "You can lead an idiot to idioms, but you can't make him
    think ;-)"

as long as you have people that insist that their original misunderstandings
are the only correct way to model the real world, and that all observed
inconsistencies in their models are caused by bugs in the real world, you'll
end up with threads like this.
