Wow, tell me more about me, please. I think your post begged the queston. Do you know what I mean by that? I think it assumed the things you wanted it to show.

Wow, tell me more about me, please. I think your post begged the queston. Do you know what I mean by that? I think it assumed the things you wanted it to show. Namely nor is the greatness of a program measured by its number of lines or memory footprint That is the point you're trying to argue, but you don't make any attempt to show why that is more like the case of the movie budget, than the running race. You just declare it to be. Now, you made that argument in response to me asking why. But you didn't say why, you just gave the two analogies again, and mixed in the original question with the second. So we have "Its like X" "No, its like Y" "Why?" "Because it is like Y" See why I didn't find your response persuasive? But by all means, ignore what I'm saying at tell me more about me. That's funny.
