Users are not the same as programmers. Programs perform a specific task. Users are much more freeform in their actions.
I just don't see the comparison.
Contradictions in your statements abound. If one accepts that programmers have MORE knowledge of the tools they are using than End Users, and then accept your argument that users need a lot of freedom in their actions, which we often successfully endeavor to give then it is fair conclusion to accept that we, the programmers, have even better ability to do our "GOTOs" than the end user has.
How can we, the application programmers, give a thousand GOTOs to our end users in a program WHICH THEY DID NOT CREATE THEMSELVES, when we ourselves don't have the ability to navigate though a program of our own creation? If they have the ability to navigate through an unknown program, we, with better abilities than them, should have the ability to navigate though a program of our own creation.
Anyway, this discussion is not leading us anywhere. So Happy New year to you and your family. Happy programming with version 4.0.
