Ah, I see. Yes, that is not an insulting statement to make, I simply
misinterpretted your meaning.

However, I find in my line of work that if you have to rely on people being able
to write good code, you will get an inferior result. We find these practices
make our style of coding easier, hence we use them. For more high-level
applications this approach would bog things down too much.

In that case I shall stick to my policy of generally not interpretting anything
as an insult :)
