The length at which statements like these border on
the ridiculous becomes apparent once you test their
negations (contradictions and contraries):


1) A language must be unpredictable.
2) A language must be inconsistent.
3) A language must be verbose.
4) A language must be unreliable.
5) A language must be non-debuggable.

1) A language need not be predictable.
2) A language need not be consistent.
3) A language need not be concise.
4) A language need not be reliable.
5) A language need not be debuggable.


But such is journalism. Works better when big words have
little substance.
