>>I do that a lot - but it sounds as if you're saying that it's popular because it's popular.
No, I'm saying that things out there don't care whether we understand or not. The tide still comes in and my PC lid that apparently consists of shells of electrons spinning wildly around nucleuses, still looks the same despite another night of entropy. Amazing, when you think about it. And iPads are still popular too. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
