However Jim, nobody actually said that those two fragments were identical. If somebody had said that, THEN one could say "you are incorrect" - but no one did say it. True, it might have been implied, but we do not KNOW that. It would still be an assumption on our part.

I feel that if there's an assumption, then when trying to address it, one should spell out what one assumes while offering a 'correction'.

Agreed. No argument from me here.

However, I'd formed a different impression of the context for that post.

So without that sort of context, it would be presumptuous to assume that Kat's code is "incorrect".

I would think OP's post provides enough context...

Well ... maybe not so much, seeing that you and I see different 'context' for the post.

Good point. I concede.

if we knew what the code intended by the code.

After spending several minutes rereading this line, I still do not understand what it means.

Yep - my mistake. I left out a 'r'. I'm surprised you didn't pick that one.

D'oh!
