The "if I don't understand it it must be bad" attitude is what gave
the world Linux.  Perhaps you should be more open to the idea that if
you don't understand it, it's probably very hard to get right, and
ripping it all out will leave you with something that only works when
you're trying to figure out why it doesn't.
