Can't we just all agree to disagree?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Here is something I posted elsewhere when this dress code think broke a while back:

[-----

'the lax dress code of the open-source community is one of the reasons behind the software's slow uptake in commercial environments.'

Assuming for the sake of argument that this is true, my response would be that if the clean cut, three piece suit set did more of the actual important work on the big projects, then they would be more visible and this would not be such a big problem.

Therefore, it is the clean cut, three piece suit set who are really holding back the uptake of Free Software in commercial environments.

Assuming what we did, what is wrong with the reasoning that followed?

all the best,
