Well, as the discussion with Mark and me points out,
some like it hot, and some like it cold. What the
author of the program probably wishes he had done

I don't think you have missed the point. Although
I'm pretty sure I have been missing the point for
quite a while now. I *think* I understand it now.
I'll find out for sure the next time I try to teach
