Absolutely. After the initial stir that Geer/Scheiener et al's anti-
monoculture broadside raised, all the trade rags have run "balanced"
articles designed to soothe CIOs who have all-MSFT shops.
I'm all in favor of balanced journalism, but sometimes you can't balance
or compromise.
I recall reading this little parable:
Two childred argue about how to split a cookie:
Child A says that he/she/it should get all of the cookie.
Child B says that they should cut the cookie in half, and A and B
should each get half.
Adult C steps in and compromises, by splitting the difference:
Child A gets 3/4 of the cookie and Child B gets 1/4.
Sometimes "balance" or "fairness" just doesn't work.
