I'll stick to my mini-BICs.

I'm frightened that I understood that.

To sumise, I think it can be agreed that matches are outdated as a PRIMARY fire-starting source, but are still useful enough in certain situations where a rod or lighter are not. You can get around this I suppose...a waterproofed lighter would offer many of the same advantages, but the point is that redundancy for this tool is desirable especially since the tools are so small and light, and diversity gives you flexibility in different situations.
