Eh, come on Larry. You're too smart for this crap (as are others, your straw just broke the camel's back). Linus was just using an analogy to illustrate some very valid points. All analogies break down when applied to the nth degree. Insulting Linus because you've found a spot where the analogy breaks is just ludicrous.
