I was not aware about Graphics Output Protocol.

Huh? The comment just above the line describes why it's needed.

Yes, I think so.

The first comment is for the whole block of code below. The second is the
comment for the first step.

I don't think it's fair.

Yes, I have hard time write correctly, even in my native languages.
I'm blind to mistakes I do. I'm sorry about them.

But I do care about bugs in my code and I do my best addressing them.
It took a lot of effort to find root cause of the bug and your statement
about my carelessness doesn't match my assessment.

Have a nice day.
