This kind of reminds me of the ancient debate in the HiFi crowd as to
whether the turntable or the speakers are the most important component in
the audio chain. People used to say that the speakers are most important,
but later on someone brought up the point that what is lost at the beginning
of the chain, at the turntable, can't ever be brought back. Translating this
to the situation here means that what the coder's screwed up on can't be
fixed by the implementing person. In our case, he may be able to work around
the deficiency, but he can't fix it.
