I like the classic car analogy, but there's a third group that should be included there.
Let's imagine a '68 Camaro (GREAT car) that 3 people get ahold of.
1) Classic car restorer who does it like it's on the showroom floor and stays true to the original form of that particular car. For instance, they buy a '68 Camaro with the RPO L89 engine.
2) Classic car restorer who maxes out the original options even though that particular car (VIN) didn't come with the options. For instance, they buy a '68 Camaro that DIDN'T come with the RPO L89 engine.
3) Hot rod morpher
Numbers 1 and 3 were covered in your post. Number 2 is who I want to focus on.
What Hermann is saying is that the person who takes a normal '68 Camaro and upgrades it with a RPO L89 engine is a morpher and deserves ridicule and all of the vitriol he can muster. Why? The RPO L89 option IS an option for the '68. In fact, he has one! It's not like person number 2 dropped a 454 in the car - but that's what Hermann would accuse them of (morphing the car even though it's consistent with original data).
Hermann's always been a little crazy with his stance that seemed to imply that morph animals are abominations and (implied conclusion that they) don't deserve to be breathing. But, his
line has just added hypocrisy to his list of endearing traits.

A good analogy - I'd like to add this - Jonathan_Brady, Wed Jan 11 07:40:57 2012
