You can't be serious -- this is a _very_ poor piece of reasoning Dimitri.

-- You assume there was only one 'best' technical solution for the
project I was competing for: false (Typo3 has the occasional weakness
you know...)
-- You imply that it would be sound practice to exclude one's own
ethical concerns from business decision-making processes: false
-- You claim (you said "required") that I had no choice in the matter: false
-- You equate my choice to use one software package instead of another
to bid in an open, competitive process to the actions of paternalistic
phamacists interfering in a doctor-patient relationship: false,
insulting and trivializing of the latter issue.
