Greg, I have to admire your ability to respond consistently in an 
even-handed manner to almost anything that has come in this thread. :-)

Just thought I'd say so, since it's a rare ability (and one I am 
afraid I don't share... :-(  ).

(On another note, in response to your concern about productivity
loss, an XP-style question-as-response might be this: "What do you
think would happen if for a while your productivity went down so
much that you were forced to pay attention to the process you were
learning rather than to the code you were trying to write?"  ;-)  )
