[stiff]

There was a lot of irony in my comments that I think not everyone understood. What I am really saying is that everything Dijkstra wrote on the topic of doing good mathematics contradicts the possibility of someone like Euler existing, yet he did exist and did work of unmatched quality. Whatever value might Dijkstra's work ultimately have I have no idea, but I find his insistence of his way being the only way appalling and his writings get really arrogant at times where he picks some very formal nit and makes it appear like a great intellectual achievement.
