(1) The very clear consensus is that using target="_blank" is a
BAD THING

(2) If you HAVE to link to an outside site and you still want
your users to come back then this is one time using frames is
acceptable

(3) Most sites DO link to outside

(4) Most site authors WANT users to come back

(5) Most sites should use frames (from 2, 3 and 4)

(6) If you use frames and want to link to outside, you use
target="_blank"

(7) Using target="_blank" is a GOOD THING

ergo

(8) The consensus that using target="_blank" is a BAD THING is
false
