I know you likely mean well, but please note that your tone here has the certitude and inflexibility that you generally find in a so-called 'fanboi' or other kind of dogmatist. The fact that you've posted twice as many comments so far as the rest of the commenters combined, also adds to that impression.

The internet is written text, and tone is a difficult thing in written text so I will assume that you don't want to actually be as belittling as you come across in this discussion.

As to REST, if you were to just mention hypermedia, then you have a point, but the term 'ReST' comes from Roy Fielding's dissertation, and the web precedes that paper substantially.
