You are confusing lack of specificness for details. The author did NOT
say he/she wanted just fuzzy touchy-feely anecdotes either. I at
least answered the science side. If he wants more specifics or does
not want the science-side of the story, he can then ask. It's called
communication.

You view everything I do through conspiracy-colored glasses.

I would recommend this book
Component Software: Beyond Object-Oriented Programming
Clemens Szysperski
http://www.amazon.com/Component-Software-Beyond-Object-Oriented-Programming/dp/0201178885/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1200599577&sr=8-1

I contains a fairly good comparison and description of the technologies
you mention.

And you are confusing the meaning of words in the English language
with ... God knows.

Please feel free to show us which of the publications (preferably
page/chapter listings) cited for the OP are "fuzzy touchy-feely anecdotes".

Please feel free to show us what specific "science side" you have answered.

Nothing you have posted in this thread can be considered an instance/
example of conspiracy.

So (again) you do not understand the English language.

So where does that leave us ?? Of course (silly me) ...

On your way, you non english-understanding comp.object muppet (+2) ...
