Well, Sir, of course you are as right in this matter as the hole of a doughnut is holy ! But, let me weakly assert in my own pathetic defence that I envisioned programmers so overcome with delight and exuberance they forgot, for a moment, the calling of their craft for uber-precision, always.

Perhaps I flashed back to the moment in Redmond many years ago when I was surrounded by people weeping because they had just been laid off ... the company's first lay-offs ... and, there I was biting my tongue to keep from dancing in ecstatic joy, and shouting "halleleujah !," because, for me, the lay-off was an answer to my prayers, and the company could not, under those circumstances not pay my hiring bonus, and there was a severance pacakge (if I had quit, they could have kept the hiring bonus).

Of course, that's no excuse ! Every jot and tittle is going to be be on the Final, I have been warned, and no programmer, no matter how generously fat and uncut the obol they slip Charon, there on banks of the dank Styx, will board that shaky ferry bound for the Fields Elysian unless their soul is purified of all sins of hanging-punctuation.
«I'm asked why doesn't C# implement feature X all the time. The answer's always the same: because no one ever designed, specified, implemented, tested, documented, shipped that feature. All six of those things are necessary to make a feature happen. They all cost huge amounts of time, effort and money.» Eric Lippert, Microsoft, 2009
