In general, sorry for the cynism, but when I read:
"There are times when I would like to find out which to use in the quickest way possible, rather than reading a long explanation of why each one behaves the way it does" of David Fox, I compare it with a question of a young army officer, addressed to his elders:
"Tell me how to win the war in the quickest way possible, rather than boring me with the explanations behind all those complicated strategies".
I'm not trying to avoid learning the differences between the different folds, but I am looking for a mnemonic device that will allow me to proceed more quickly towards my goal. My ultimate goal is to write software, not to understand folds. Just as it is inappropriate for a young officer to even contemplate an overall strategy for winning the war, it would be inappropriate for a general to spend more time than necessary on the minute details of military tactics, as vital as they are.
