I apologize and take responsibility for any distress that flight caused.”

I feel an obligation to myself to do that but obviously the organization, the fans, this community.

Although there is nothing more precise than code, there is also nothing more permanent or resistant to change. So the situation frequently crops up where nomenclature confusion drives programmers to begin coding prematurely, and that code becomes the de facto design, regardless of its appropriateness or correctness.”
