"Programmers are not to be measured by their ingenuity and their logic but by the completeness of their case analysis." ~ Perlis I personally pride myself on my ability to analyze situations by cases, and to grind through normally-opaque walls to find proofs, but we should always keep in mind that it is the hardest way. It's like fishing for algorithms.

Presumably, ingenuity and logic can lead one to a simplified case analysis (more cases covered by fewer separate conditions), which allows one to do a complete case analysis with less effort.
