Why? They get the job done, and in some cases, do it very well.

At this point you must accept that what you desire is not necessarily what
the group desires, or what is best for the group at the moment. Right now,
it looks like we have 3 active links, and only static routing. Obviously,
there are also no issues with congestion.

When we do get into dynamic routing and 100% utilisation of links, there are
packages available that can help out. What's so wrong with using them? Your
case involves completely replacing TCP/IP, and I'm not sure you see the
enormity of this task.

Now there's an exaggeration and a half, especially from someone who is
talking about fallacies in logic.
