Excellent post. I completely agree.

It simply doesn’t matter whether the CRU code is sloppy. I’ve been writing code for 30+ years myself, and I’ve seen a lot of absolutely hideous spaghetti code that works beautifully. Sloppiness and poor commenting may be an undesirable thing for many reasons, but it does NOT necessarily say anything about whether the code will do what it’s supposed to do.

And the fact that the results generated from the CRU code are duplicated by so many other completely independent sources really should have put this issue to bed a long time ago.
