The Stepford Wives

IT moral
It's normal to admire this or that technology, but essential to retain objectivity when deciding on key components of IT strategy. Fashion, fanhood and philosophies have their place, but if an idea that seems to conflict with your idea of beauty really has something to offer, don't kill it or twist it to fit your preconceptions. Also, never let a muppet rebuild your system.
