All I have been asking for is some good technical arguments by which using a DVCS is easier, more flexible, superior than using a centralized SCCS.

I will be looking forward to understanding the techncial arguments from Beman's talk.
It really isn't that easy to explain, with lots of aspects (not just distributed vs. centralized). These might help: http://www.ericsink.com/vcbe/html/dvcs_advantages.html http://www.ericsink.com/vcbe/html/dvcs_weaknesses.html Should be noted that they are chapters are from a book which is partly promoting another(!) new DVCS, so the author is perhaps a little biased, but they look pretty fair to me.
