I've seen excellent programmers fscking up use of && and ||.

I've also seen quite a few guys coming (from their experience) to
the conclusions that look an awful lot similar to mine. Like, say it,

And frankly, when I hear about "typed" interfaces, two things come to
mind - "typed files" and CORBA. Both - architectural failures.
