I've presented examples. They haven't. They haven't even bothered to engage with the examples I've provided. I want to read code they've written using this philosophy so that I can see what it looks like in real world usage. Otherwise, the only code I've seen that does something similar uses formal methods. So I simply do not believe that this is practical advice for most programming.
Insisting on examples and evidence to support an argument isn't combative. It's appropriate when extraordinary claims are being made.
If you've published code using this philosophy that is used by real people in real systems, then I would be happy to take a look at that as well. If it exists, I would bet it's in a niche of a niche.
I've had these arguments before about this very topic. Some people have taken me up on this request and actually provided examples. And in 100% of those cases, it turned out there was a mismatch between what they were saying and what the code was doing.
