Yeah, I think we're past arguably these days. I've thought that for a while.

I think arguably it was thrown into sharp relief when a bug at google.com required me to stay up past midnight trying to explain to my customers that

a) yes, I understand, the Internet is broken

b) I understand and respect that you are pissed off at this occurrence but I didn't do it

c) I empathize with your desire to have this fixed RIGHT THE '#($ NOW.

Google, you set out to dominate the Internet. You succeeded. You are now indispensable. Please do not break the Internet.
