> It appears that I sometimes have difficulty expressing *why* thingsshould be encoded. I'm not sure I can do much about that. I think I'm a good judge of when to unify and when not to unify nevertheless.
Logically, this is a fairly empty claim. It's sort of:
- I know the difference between a tree and a bush, when I see it.
True enough.
- I can't enumerate any reasons for my judgement.
No, but apparently I sometimes can't enumerate the reasons in ways that people feel comfortable about it.
- But I'm good at it, because invariably when I say it's a tree, I agree with myself.
I think my track record is a little stronger than that, in fairness. -- Michael Everson * * Everson Typography * * http://www.evertype.com
