"Ah, yes. The same way writing was for exceptionally dull monks. And yet, strangely, the world became a better place as more people learnt reading and writing.
I might be dull - I let my friends judge - but I'd like to make one point very clearly. Pretty much the entire world runs based on some code written somewhere.
