Well, *I* care...
(Damn, can't even keep a straight face hidden behind email)
Ok, well at least it's an amusing argument. Well, partially.
So, here's something I've wondered for a while: how are glass cased
diodes made? Wouldn't the temperatures needed to form the glass and
seal it to the leads destroy the silicon junction being put inside?

As long as we're being pedantic, you're wrong. What you say is only
true
if it is a JEDEC 1n914 that you're talking about. "1n914" cannot be
trademarked or copyrighted. A manufacturer is perfectly free to make a
device in a non-glass package and call it a 1n914, which means it _is_
a
1n914, as long as they stay away from JEDEC.
Then again, following your lead in being impractically, completely,
worthlessly pedantic, it's a JEDEC 1N914, not a 1n914. In the strict
sense, the latter cannot exist under JEDEC.
"No one cares" is probably an understatement.
