You meant masochists?

Uggghhh I meant masochists. That's a... very unfortunate mistake. As I said already in this thread (RE getting the GFLOPS way wrong), sorry!!!

I meant masochists. Thanks for questioning.

I think the implication was that the choice made users suffer, and feel pain - so sadism fits.
Makes sense. I read it as referring to people doing the reverse engineering work initially.
