The problem with these references is that it causes people to
judge the language or application by comparing it to one of these 
references. Since Python and Zope use somewhat different strategies
to reach their goals compared to Java and J2EE, you'll have a hard
time explaining that these different strategies can be just as good
if not better. 

Java and J2EE are industry standards and there's nothing 
we can change about it (since we don't have the marketing 
power). Sad, but true.
