i've read (and agree with) the long and theoretical explanations about why
local by default is the wrong choice; but could you share any short anecdote
that convinced you of this?
my point is that a short and simple example might be more convincing than
the 'real' reasons (and easier to repeat again and again each time this issue
is mentioned...)
