Unexpected Truths

I was in an interview today (update: not for a job for me, I was interviewing them to do a job for AOL), talking to a design and development shop (who will remain nameless) about their work and other assorted web-nerdery (flash vs. html, accessibility, localization, etc) when I asked them about the different DOCTYPES they use and why they didn't just pick one and stick with it. Here's how the conversation went.

He didn't get it right away, which is probably a good thing. I wish every interview went that well.

    You realize that you'll have to WEAR said shirt at SXSW next year, or I'll lose all respect for you, right? =)
