I am intentionally avoiding fliptops remarks on the ground that
i fear if I reference 'engineer' too close to 'software' I will
be obliged to complain about the
Harry Potter Syndrome
namely that now that Harry Potter is off in school - will he
come out as a traditional warlock - or will he become a 'warlock engineer'
,
and/or become obliged to be a member of a professional 'warlock engineering
association' as a part of the carRear development path. { not that
I consider this a religious issue..... }
but fliptop is also following down the expected line of 'best practices'
and the general principles of good coding... which I support as part
and parcel of beginner's mailing lists.
I think what I am looking for is the function
let f(x) be a boolean function that establishes
whether or not topic x is a matter of 'religion'
more than of 'best practices' and/or 'principle'
and/or
let g(x) be a function that returns the delta of x
as a religious matter from principle, as opposed to the core
component of x that is still within the scope
of best practice ....
eg:
my ($delta_oh_x, @list_of_canon ) = g(x);
such that we would do say
my ($delta_oh_x, @list_of_canon ) = g(x) unless(f(x));
hence we could sort order all of the questionable bits....

for the apostate - 'canon' - with only one 'n' is the technical
term deriving from greek denoting a bar or the measuring rod -
hence - that which is 'canonical' ....
'true cannon' - with two 'n' in it - be, well, a rude way
of denoting that the defense of the faith may be with artillery....
