Good. I hate when the goal (of building something, of answering the question) is obscured by the author's need to show how knowledgeable or insecure they are and share 15 different ways to do something. Not every piece of writing is a philosophical treatise.

Though sure, a short list of alternatives wouldn't hurt. The justifications for our choices OTOH expand quickly because humans seem to be really good at those[1].

EDIT: fixed, thanks.
