Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man."  -George Bernard Shaw (1903)/An Unreasonable Man (2006)  I watched this documentary film about Ralph Nader today (aired on PBS Dec. 18th, 2007).

As the author of a relatively popular benchmarking article, I feel compelled to respond to this bit of misguided analysis from the Symfony camp about benchmarks.   Paul talks about the "straw-man arguments" presented in the Symfony article, including some references to Paul's previous benchmarks. He's even broken it down into a point-by-point response to make each point clear.
