What you don't understand is YOU are the only one who can trivialize 
YOUR career.  No one else can.

And no, I did NOT refer to "reading a few pages on wikipedia and writing 
a little php".  I do not consider either to be reliable.  Rather, I 
referred to recognized experts in the field such as Booch, Rumbaugh and 
Stroustrup.

But you're too caught up in your own little world to even try to 
understand REAL experts.  Your mantra is "I have my mind made up and no 
one will change it".

Such is the life of those who will not learn.
