One think struck me the other day (going back to the original topic):
We all know it is physically impossible for a human being to fling themselves out of a swimming pool and land on a diving board,
or for a train to reverse out of a devastated building, reconstructing it as it goes, so when we see that we immediately know the
trickery being played on us. Likewise we know it is not possible to run a program backwards, which begs the question:
Why oh why did I not realise it is the exact same thing, just a smidge more interactive?
These days we don't bat an eyelid when a movie file takes up several GB of disk space, so why would it be completely out of the
question for a debugger to write several GB, as long as it cleaned up after itself?
