|Actually Nick, you are doing pretty well today. You have

|You have shown that productivity is independent of the
|number of lines of code, and that furthermore it is just
|as easy to debug a long low level program as a short high
|level one, and consequently as a corollory completely
|debunked the notion that high level features are useful
|in programming languages :-)
