Compilers are not impressed by Weasel Words and the directives they except must
be type consistent and concise.
Boies is apparently incapable of producing true and correct functional
statements free of guile-full intent.
He'd be crying himself to sleep atop mountains of printed out core dumps before
he -ever- got down to a simple working rangeCheck().
Every time the compiler gave him a syntax error, he'd try to double the amount
of code to see if that would hide the error from the compiler.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

A statement like this goes well beyond exaggeration or stretching the truth.
This is one of those statements that can only come out of either one or a
combination of three categories:
1) Ignorance - he just doesn't know what he is talking about. In this case, if
it is just a matter of not knowing and making this statement, then he has not
even scratched the surface of diligently knowing his client's case. If I were
the client, I would be ticked off by him making us look stupid by association.
Not a good attorney, if this is behind the statement.
2) Stupidity - To meet this condition, Mr. Boies would have to be exposed to
the information and lacking the mental capacity to understand it. Checking to
see if a value is out of a range is among the most trivial, simplest, and basic
of good programming practices. Compare a value with limits and return something
if out of range. If Mr. Boies can't understand this, then he no doubt has the
inability to understand whether he needs to add funds to his checking account
when the balance is dipping low; same principle, but no more complicated to word
in Java than the English langauge.
3) Dishonesty. If Mr. Boies is not ignorant or stupid...if he has been exposed
to the principles and understands them...then he is lying to make a statement
like this. Writing an application might take some time, but comparing two
values and returning something if they match/don't_match? In the words of John
McEnroe, 'you cannot be serious!'
