Could you please refrain from already labeling a discussion a bikeshed?
It makes me want to stop participating in these discussions.  Because
then it is basically said: hey, I am wondering about X, but since I know
it is futile we'll just talk.  Personally I like to treat each
discussion/idea as something possibly worthwhile to invest a lot of time
in.
I thought it was obvious this was a joke.  I guess not.

Personally, I think it is a very interesting discussion and a topic that 
I've thought about alot about over the years.  And although I will talk 
about it as much as people can tolerate, I will admit that I think it is 
a futile discussion.  Sorry, but I'm just being honest.
