Uh...yeah...um...this is....I mean, this is Michael, and I, uh, think that,
um, Jon has sort of a point here, but (*throat clearing*) one thing to, uh,
think about, is that, uh.... [the rest garbled by passing garbage trucks and
ghetto blasters.]
My point - and I do have one - should be clear: there's more than one
way to skin a cat; and if you try to use a screwdriver, the cat might
skin *you* before you can even get the blade in. Most
of us lack radio-announcer vocal presence, and very few of us have
good ambient-noise-cancellers. Saying that one technology is
categorically better than another might be (to switch metaphors
clumsily) that old hammer-nail myopia again.
