Many things have been considered harmful at sometime in almost every field of human endeavor. However, according to Eric Meyer, "Considered Harmful" Essays Considered Harmful > <http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/comment/chech.html> even that restriction would lead to thousands of hits inspired directly or indirectly by Niklaus Wirth's title for Dijkstra's Letter to the Editor.
