Please note my previous message about intuition ("it is often wrong"). Logic is wrong here. In fact, the logic you present is illogical and hence the effect is not the case. I'm doing my talk for SD 95 East right now, and so probably won't be able to get to your responses to me for a few more days, but, again, this doesn't follow and is unfounded. Please expound on "if a program contains more instructions", both what you mean by it, and what you believe the side effects of that are (not error-wise, just what it does) and I think we'll have a smoother thread.
