I wondered this too. My guess, it may have political benefits, as it's D.C. Will see how the other companies would react to this. I'd guess, they would enforce the notion of "recommendation" to whitewash the outright col

To a novice: 'Make it work, then make it better!' Wasting cycles in already not-so-sure brains is not a practical way to gain confidence. Having a code that works, boosts the novice's confidence greatly. Review would help the
