To some degree that applies to every item on the list. But I still appreciate Bernhard's list! It can both act as a recipe for short-term workarounds, and also speed the process of finding the weak spots in a program, or a category of programs. It's often said that debugging involves reducing the number of bugs from N to 0, and a serious problem is that you don't know going into the process what N is. A good understanding of Bernhard's list can assist people (we hope) in quickly determining N. - Larry
