I realize that when Greg said ,"...see these arguments as being rational ones about usability and not irrational ones about aesthetics" he meant that arguments about aesthetics are usually subjective.

Partly that, but also that I don't think all of the arguments about @ vs. [...] are purely subjective. It seems a fairly objective fact to me that [...] carries more meaning in terms of pre-existing connotations.
