Pick 100 random programmers in 1970 and most of them would be more comfortable with GOTO-based programming, for variety of reasons, including performance.

That seems to be exactly what hota_mazi is saying.

Not that I'm objecting! I'm commenting. Sometimes stating the obvious helps trigger that "pause and reflect" thing.

Indeed.

Mark Twain's quote is also often misunderstood. It doesn't mean you should never be in the majority, it's about always questioning your choices.

Personally, I go one step further and I always pause and reflect, whether I'm in the majority or not.
