Don't get me wrong; I'd be a benevolent Ayatollah, and wouldn't

Knowledge is power. If you KNOW which is the better bulb, there is
the temptation to mandate its use (witness that exact fact). People
should gather their eggs in whichever basket they choose, put them
in their pockets, or wrap them in a handkerchief and carry them over
their shoulder. If *I* were the king of the world, I'd shoot anybody who
says "we
need to study this."

Well, that pretty much squares with a lot of the crap you post here.

At least you're consistent.

Thanks. I enjoy irritating progressives.
