Sometimes there aren't right answers
Just trade-offs. And a lot of people with strong opinions. And a lot of people without real opinions, but who are scared that the answers might not be what they have learned.
This situation can last indefinitely, particularly since in different problem domains, different answers can be better.
In fact I don't expect debates about typing to go away in my lifetime...
Cheers,

PS It is always a good feeling to believe that you have had a positive role in someone else's learning curve. So if I helped you at some point, it was my pleasure. :-)
