- pg 18y agoIt's too bad the use of "the exception proves the rule" in cases like this is a solecism, because this would be the perfect time for it. SAS is the closest thing to an old-style industrial company in the software business. (In "the exception proves the rule," proves is used in the older sense, meaning to test, not the newer sense, meaning to establish.)
