--- Begin Message ---Package: man-db Version: 2.7.0.2-5 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? Greater line numbers were shown for lines in error when some options were used with "man". ### When "man" adds lines to the input stream, the line numbers of the output are not corrected accordingly. Why was that done? How will the cause of the error be communicated to other, so they could learn from it? The general production of bugs (errors, especially logical ones) has not decreased during the years. Why is that? ### # "Since breaking out of bad habits, rather than acquiring new ones, is the toughest part of learning we must expect from that system permanent mental damage for most students exposed to it." P. xxxvii in: On the Cruelty of Really Teaching Computing Science Edsger W. Dykstra (Dijkstra) SIGCSE Bulletin 1989, 21(1), bls. xxv-xxxix. Also "www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/" # "The problems of the real world are primarily those you are left with when you refuse to apply their effective solutions." P. xxxviii in: On the Cruelty of Really Teaching Computing Science Edsger W. Dykstra (Dijkstra) SIGCSE Bulletin 1989, 21(1), bls. xxv-xxxix. Also "www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/" # It is necessary to consider all consequences of the proposed action in all states of nature. There are lots of consequences of any given action. Many of the problems of society today are at least partly due to the failure to realize that the "obvious" action taken had so many bad side effects. Herman Rubin in the Usenet group "misc.education.science". # There is a saying, Any fool can learn from his own experience, The wise man learns from the experience of others. Too many students show that the first line is not correct. But the second is very important, and is the basis of the setting up of an educational program.
