At what point did such a claim become fact? As much as I may believe
in and hype my development practices and philosophy, I'm not going to
claim that they're fact. Other ways of doing things exist... Some of
them just aren't very efficient.

But you're claiming this is a "subtle but important fact?" 

Please try not to confuse your preferred development philosophy with
fact. It isn't good for this discussion. The fact that we can even
have such a heated debate over comments should tell you that no one
here is 100% right.
