As usual, Shmuel is making at once literalistic and sophomoric
debater's points.  As my earlier posts emphasized, load modules
contain a mixture of text and control information (not necessarily in
alternating blocks).

Justice Holmes famously observed that freedom of thought is freedom
for the thought that we hate.  Equally, it is freedom for the thought
that we judge ridiculous.  Shmuel thus is and should be free to make
himself ridiculous here.

Still, it is melancholy that someone who has done good work should
have been reduced to such posturing.
