I don't believe I came up with this one, but I haven't been able to source it: for a modern audience, "Go To Statements Considered Harmful" should probably be titled "Structured Programming Considered Beneficial". Structured programming was (comparatively) new, and advocating for it made sense, given that FORTRAN and COBOL were the major languages in use, and (at the time) didn't exactly encourage the style.
