Even if you are a genius, I find this impossible. You have never misunderstood
a specification, and hence designed or coded the wrong thing? You have never
maintained a program, and made the wrong correction/addition? You have never
implemented an algorithm incorrectly? You have never forgotten a special test
case (this can happen even with instrumentation)? You've never simply
misunderstood and pickeled yourself? However ridiculous, hasn't your boss ever
forced you into slap-happy all-nighters? You've never done a quick fix that
never got properly tested and "slow fixed"? <<
What you say, I agree with. Hence my word “nearly'' which I confirm.
