I've just run a loop of 13000 cylinders with a warning message ouputing the
count each time round the loop - time to parse 14 minutes

time to parse without the warning - 9 secs

No wonder I've had such long parse times when I've been rendering pictures
with grass in!

Hmmm... let me think for a minute... Nope never happened to me. I have
never forgotton a semi-colon in any of my loops. Nope. Never.

Never tried to render a mesh with 20,000 degenerate triangles either.
Boy that would produce a lot of warning messages, wouldn't it ?

Actually, Ken's AI routines allow him to foresee all these problems
before they actually occur.

Human error and inobservancy is inevitable. It has nothing to do with idiocy.
