 Benjamin,
I think you are taking my english in wrong context.I think JJ was talking
about "Design level Whys" if you read his that post, which i replied."Design
level Whys" are not important for everyone using it.You should try to solve
your doubts first by excersing own mind, its not necessary to ask for
whenever u have a why.

Regards,
Hiren
