Well, maybe go observe how a broad array of sites implement it in practice, then you might take it more seriously. Maybe you don't implement it that way, but a lot of people will just follow the tutorials or shortcut their way to something that works (but is brittle).

At any rate, I was responding directly to the claim that "No one has suggested running syslog over unreliable transport" which is obviously untrue.
