The best analogy I ever heard on this is that using a goto is like knocking a hole into a wall: it can be very useful, or even essential, in some specific circumstances, but you should give it a bit of thought. Also, it would be foolish to

Think of an army, where the generals are making decisions based on outdated reconnaissance reports and commanding the troops on the ground to behave in ways that no longer fit the situation. Switching to OODA would allow the troops in the f

The book is from 1300 years ago; we don't know when the drawings were done. Even if they were done around the time of the creation of the book, clearly the existence of the book itself demonstrates the existence of paper in that part o
