I'm not sure what "tell it like it is" means in the context of your
reply. Your response didn't even address the question, and seemed more
there to either hear yourself talk or name-drop some folks, perhaps to
impress us. Meanwhile, John's reply was in direct response to the
question.
I'm not going to debate anything with regard to "telling it like it
is" if it's a UML vs. DFD discussion you're looking to have, because I
tire of the same old thread. But do consider tailoring your responses
to the actual questions being asked, and not using the question as an
opportunity to change the subject.
answering questions = value
