Good luck trying to get people to follow this. I find most people
have permanent blinders about this kind of thing. It's like trying
to get students really to learn good notation technique. I guess
part of being a techno-peasant is believing that one will always
be able to flail about and count on some computer friendly to bail
one out. I think, in fact, that the whole business of making things
computer friendly, and make it simple stupid, have been taken way
too far. We're generating techno-invalids rather than techno-literates.
