re: #53 Walter L. Newton

Harry eventually fixed this, so in the future it would produce accurate data, but one wonders how many times data was pushed through this formula in the past and how much invalid data was generated from this faulty function.

Quoted where you turned it around. Two points.

1) You admit it was fixed.

2) “One may wonder”. Implying harm is a no-no.

In general, you proved that a programmer had a hell of a time with the legacy systems (hardly a surprise, as anyone whose worked with that kind of thing can tell you), and that he hated having to fix it. Also you proved that ‘one may wonder’ what harm it did to the data.
