Good thing I never said that they were incoherent or inconsistent.
You seemed to be implying that, though. You claim that the C3
algorithm is the only way to get MI that is coherent and consistent.
If that's true, then since C++ and Eiffel don't use C3, they must
not be coherent and consistent.
There is no *guessing* in the C3 linearization algorithm.
"Guessing" in the context of that Zen line means making an arbitrary
choice that may or may not be what the programmer wants. It doesn't
mean choosing at random.
