No, Michael's point is that PS is a printer language, not a drawing
description language. For example, the fact that a number occurs between
a pair of arrows is just a coincidence in PS -- nothing in the PS version
tells you that it is a dimension, much less *what* it's a dimension of.
(You can add structure within PS to convey that sort of thing, but almost
nobody does.)
PS is the electronic equivalent of paper: it's the final output, of
interest only to a human looking at it. For that, it's excellent. But
it's not suitable as a format for humans to *work* on.
