IoC developers seem to have quite a different mind set than people
building logging systems. What seems natural to one is not necessarily
so for the other. What we believe to be correct is not necessarily
true, and what we are accustomed to is not necessarily good.

By confronting the perspectives of each side we can perhaps find a
solution commonly acceptable or at least better understand each
other.
