    I wasn't trying to say standardization is all good or all bad...it's just a push and pull between those two things. Standardization is good in the sense that it helps proliferate ideas and makes the cost of doing business cheaper...which can result in greater creativity in other areas.

    As an example, HTML is a standard...we've all agreed to use HTML to write webpages, that carries with it obvious limitations...but if everyone had to create their own markup language from scratch not a lot would get done, would it? The fact that we have a standard has allowed a lot more creative shit to happen on the web.
