I’ll be honest, I picked this topic out of the half-dozen or so Better Know A Ruby Things on my to-do list strictly because it’s maybe the only Ruby take that I genuinely argue with people about.

I know these newsletters have tended toward long, but 3100+ words was a bit much even for me, so I’ve split it in half.
