Journal Journal: I've known *that* for a long time... 4

Journal Journal: Comment of the day 2
El Lobo on the Mono platform story, with a fantastic analogy in support of a completely misguided point.
I mean, it's like if an icecream maker would like to make icecream on an refrigerator inside an oven.
