That is just wrong. It's fundementally counter to the essense of free software.
It draws to the conclusion that end users are inherently stupid, and unable
to comprehend the basics of software design and compilation. And it is a
conclussion that is not founded on fact, as we can see with hundreds of
equally complex projects which do compile rationally.`
Frankly, its a abussive attitude
