After observing the phenomenon for a few decades I am pretty convinced (but lack the expertise to prove) that long-running arguments about programming are not gratuitous bickering but involve real and complex cognitive issues.
E.g. people will use expressions like "clean, readable, comprehensible" etc. code as if its an objective and isolated reality. Well, clearly it isn't. There is tons of context involved and maybe even neurophysiological differences.
