[ergothus]

I was once told a quote (original unknown, so any butchering is mine) something " when I was a young programmer, I relied on print statements to debug. When I learned more, I used a debugger, and when I learned even more, I used print statements"

I always took that to mean dogma was no substitute for results, so I use whichever works better for the problem at hand. (Or at least try to - often this means trying to notice when one way isn't working well and being willing to switch, but that means I was doing the worse choice for a while)
