...crackrock is a disaster for normal users.I think you're overstating your case considerably. An example of a disaster would be having one's hard drive fail without a recent backup. Or having one's house hit by lightening and frying all the computers. On the other hand, accidently clicking a window's maximization icon with the wrong mouse button and having the resulting window maximize along a single axis and not both is not a disaster. But this feature in particular has been in the past classified as "crackrock."

Semantic arguments about what I meant by the word "disaster" (in a post that was supposed to be tongue in cheek, no less) aside, you should consider tatooing that statement on your forehead for posterity and explaining it to everyone you meet on the street. I can think of no more persuasive argument against crackrock than a zealous proponent. :)
