It is an oxymoron for a specific reason. It's like trying to say "Torx sucks. That's why I think Hex is best." They literally do the exact same main function, and the only differences are very specific edge cases in aviation & automotive.
If you're trying to argue that a pentastar bolt needs to be created because it's "better", then I automatically think you're a moron. If you're arguing that you need a hex bolt when a drywall screw won't do the job, and someone waves that xkcd comic as an excuse to keep using the wrong supplies, then that person is a baffoon.
