>Zed, you're right, period. But I think you probably just hurt people's feelings because they revere Kernighan and Ritchie and this is one prominent item of their legacy.

This is hilarious, because programmers by and large love to pride themselves about being stoic, logical, and practical in lieu of letting emotion dictate what they do.

Since when do programmers give a shit if people's precious fee-fees contradict what is technically correct? (The best kind of correct!)
