In recent conversation with a developer who was deploying some of my 
XSLT code in a .NET framework, I tried to help him appreciate what 
global parameters are, and how they need to be exposed to his C# 
applications. I showed him a bit of source code. He was very resistant, 
and said, in paraphrase, "I don't know why you're showing me this. I 
don't understand XSLT, and I don't need to understand it. I am only a 
programmer."

That comment left me at a loss for words.
