(Emotions, team roles, pretty pictures, pedestals aside,) people just can't
seem to be focusing on a *narrow* point these day, so I'll repeat one last
time: programming (executable code writing) and markup (tagging text) are
*technically* not the same thing. I oversimplified it for the sake of
emphasis here, but there remains a fundamental difference there, requiring
quite different skill sets.
