So, at University, at the end of the course the students often create a project, and maybe a paper. A lot of these are pretty awful. Really. You can lookup a lot of them online to see. We'll wait.

Back already? That bad were they? Told you so. So, anyway, one of these awful papers somehow got far more attention from the web-tards then it was due.

As a result we cannot have a discussion about web and APIs without the church of RESTful dogma sticking in their two-penneth.

REST was and is a bad idea, but hey, it sells books, passing on the moronic tradition to the next gullible generation.

Sigh.
