You've clarified my points, thanks Wol.
General comment, not directed at Marshall: I've been writing a lot of successful code for over 25 years now. My views may be blatently wrong or idiotic in the eyes of some but nevertheless the mindset, shared by many in the Pick world, does yield positive results - functional code with few bugs, low TCO, good ROI for those who use the code, an no redevelopment to accomodate new features, etc.. It's really discouraging that theorists don't seem to consider "proven success" as a factor of whether a statement is valid. It's like people saying the structural design of a bumble bee precludes the possibility of flight. I just don't get you guys...
