With chalk mark one tire on your car with 'P' and another with 'S' just 
before you drive to the lecture.  When you arrive, check both tires.  The 
tire with the letter closest to the pavement determines which of the two to 
present.  What do you think - an analog randomizer?   The debate is a draw.  
And no blood spilled either.

I vote for Sendmail because it's like kudzu, and if you're surrounded by 
kudzu then, by God, you'd better know kudzu.  By lesser logic, learning 
Postfix will be possible after learning Sendmail.  Those that end up using 
Postfix will do so having seen the alternative and feel relieved.  Those that 
end up using Sendmail will be glad for having the tutorial.
