Are you just giving your anecdotal experience or do you have something to support your claims?

  Seems like a perfectly reasonable counter-point to someone else's anecdote...

    Except that one person actually made an anecdote and the other is making unsubstantiated claims. I would like to know if there is any truth in their claims or is it just another anecdote.

  Programs that contain more semantic information are easier for both humans and tools to reason about, it didn't even occur to me that this would be a controversial statement.

  Every claim that's been made in this thread is based on anecdotal experience. Maybe in 50 years software will be mature enough that we'll have actual empirical data to back up our design/tooling decisions. But for now, almost no one is seriously interested in testing this stuff with well designed (and well funded) studies.

    I realize this. I'm just hoping someone has come across some knowledge that I'm not aware of.
