AFACT, there was no doubt involved when I said "15 lines of non-trivial
code".

I thought we had a discussion about it recently, but my memories may be

I knew I shouldn't have used this word. Fair enough. Replace it with

If your point (I didn't get it actually) is "interpretation is hard,

I think this is not a good way to look at the problem. But that's fine,
as long as it suits you.
