One (not necessarily me) could argue that there is (or, at least, ought to be if people took their egos out of it) usually a clear and objective way to resolve technical disputes, while the same is not at all true of (parent comment's other example) political disputes.

I think that in-spite of being programmers, we've deluded ourselves into believing that we can be hyper objective. The practical human factors IMHO, always overpower theoretical technical decisions, and bring you back into the realm of politics/social issues. But that is a very large topic for discussion and comments won't do it justice.
