Chuckle! I think a lot of us do the same, when the occasion arises. I certainly do. Of course, there's no stigma involved in the practice, as long as you remember to test your replacement code thoroughly. Right? Right?

(As it happens, I also do it to my old, already-published fiction...which causes my readers a bit of concern when they discover it! Well, at least with fiction the "debugging" is less onerous.)

pope.setExCathedraMode(true); // makes pope infallible
