Re: @oolor (was: I don't understand all the hostility)
Choose whichever translations you wish, the context is clear and written in a neutral tone. I have heard more than enough people of all ages and educations use the word to mean a variety of things. There are a lot of people having quite strong reactions beyond how much it may actually impact them. I'd have to say, the colloquialism fits quite well here as El Reg forums are hardly formal writing.
Perhaps you mistake my use of religious to mean spiritual or belief in god. It is nothing of that sort. The belief actions I am talking about pertain to this world and our actions in it. When people make false idols in the here and now. I have no sides either in this electric car good-bad thing or matters of spirituality, I do, however observe frequent emotional reactions by those with imagined stakes in the matter.
For the record even though I like to see Musk succeed, I am skeptical of electric vehicles and this is the position I have always had. As an investor, I wouldn't touch such a venture. I could list a lot of scientific and economic details, but quite frankly, that too would be bullshit to justify a gut position.

This is true, if only I would listen to my teenage self, I would be so far ahead, unfortunately we lost him a couple decades ago. Man that kid was sharp, but did he really believe what he thought he did?
