Thank you for respecting that. I believe you understand.

I have to say I'm completely unsurprised at your follow-up result - I've always held that view myself. Code style isn't just about variable names and brace placement, it's also about the abstract design and how you choose to reduce the problem you want to solve to the method that you want to solve it with - and the choices made in that process carry through all the way to the object code, data structures, file formats and beyond. That stylometry may be possible to some degree from object code follows naturally from that viewpoint.

A little romantic as that might be, I've always felt that reverse-engineering can sometimes seem like, via the medium of what they've created, being a few steps removed from reading someone else's thoughts.
