Whatever. I'm right, because I've written code that does what Web services people say is impossible. It's not like I'm going to wake up and realize that I didn't write that code.
I've also spent much of the past 5 years studying very large scale systems in extreme detail. Before that, I was a CORBA wiz, so I'm well aware of pros and cons of both architectural styles.
I choose REST because it's superior to Web services in practically every way that is important to large scale systems. Moreover, I reject Web services, because it fails to pass the single most critical litmus test for large scale systems; it's not late bound (i.e. integration complexity is necessarily worse than O(N)).
