That's just the same straw man that you are also arguing against! As for your anecdotal evidence, it does not count twice through repetition.

- marginalia_nu 5y agoWhy wouldn't anecdotal evidence count? This may not be the flavor of defensive programming you favor, but it is something that exists, and also something that is explicitly mentioned in the start of the discussion.
- mannykannot 5y agoIt counts for something, but yours does not count more than anyone else's - and it is certainly not sufficient to make a general case against validation. Pointing out that bad or incorrect validation is bad is news to no-one, and is merely a specific case of bad code being harmful. >...something that is explicitly mentioned in the start of the discussion. Yes - it started with a straw man in the article.
