If only you knew, how many times I've heard this argument...

And this is finally the information, that we can work with.
My wild guess is that your "colleagues" making certain assumptions about
files, that not always true on other systems.
I.e. opening a file in text mode, and then treating it's data as binary safe,
quite predictable, prone to fail (not actual opening, but reading and
writing operations on it) on systems with different line endings.

I beg for forgiveness. Was merely trying to save you some time. Perhaps,
trying too hard...
