If we're going to have polls like this, can we at least use proper questions? These, and the other one's questions are compound and weighted toward lack of trust. This is a solved space.

I love Knuth for things like this: "although I did delete a few bytes of redundant source code and alter two names." He knows what he wants it to do, it need do nothing else, and in pursuit of that, he'll refine even the most
