Please don't use made up words to try to justify dismissing arguments 
without thought.  And please don't use silly claims of "mental 
problems".  (Yes, I know others have stopped to that level too - that 
does not mean it is helpful or appropriate for you to do so also.)

No, it is not the "whole story".  The post I wrote, and that you snipped 
(perhaps without reading) is a big part of the story.

And no, the C++ Core Guidelines do /not/ encourage the use of "using 
namespace std;".  Please re-read the Guidelines section "SF.6" and try 
to understand it better.  Perhaps ask here if you need more of an 
explanation.  Amongst other things, it says:

"The use of using namespace std; leaves the programmer open to a name 
clash with a name from the standard library"

and

"However, this is not particularly likely to lead to a resolution that 
is not an error and people who use using namespace std are supposed to 
know about std and about this risk."



You /should/ know about this risk, but your thoughtless dismissal of it 
suggests you don't really understand the consequences.  When in doubt, 
do not use "using namespace std;" at file scope.
