Counterpoint... I'm a dork, aka an engineer, so I don't take offense when someone attributes these engineering marvels to me (and those like me). Even a properly adjusted derailleur can fail, and come out of adjustment, or just assplode on you. As an engineer, I like to design with a "belts AND suspenders philosophy" when I can, aka, having not only a Plan A, but also a Plan B. The dork disk is a compelling Plan B. Plus plus... for some weird psychological reason, they aggravate that same crowd that likes to tout the "Rules" to me, and I like to think it stings just a little more when someone with a dork disked bicycle passes them. Plus plus plus... the added weight is inconsequential compared to the 10+ pounds of human flubber and bologna burden I subject my bicycles to on every outing. Plus plus plus plus... it's star shaped.
