I see no evidence in your post explaining why triggers are 'evil'. What, exactly, makse such triggers 'wrong'? This question has been asked in many forms in this thread and not one of the naysayers can prove the rhetoric to which they cling.

Provide statistical evidence you are 'right' and we are 'wrong', or learn a different tune.
