"Be conservative in what you send and liberal in what you accept"

Perhaps the most mis-interpreted aphorism of all time.

What Jon meant was "don't crash when your code encounters garbage input,"
and was written in the context of the IMPs tipping over when receiving invalid packets. It *never* meant "second guess the sender's intent and patch accordingly."
