Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are,

this signature is OT, false and it irritate me: can you please change
it?
(a) It's a /signature/. It's topicality isn't at issue. Feel free to
complain about my signature(s) if you like.
(b) I certainly find debugging code harder than writing it. So it's
certainly not obviously false.
(c) It's a /signature/, not a peer-reviewed essay. It's pithy and
makes a point.
(d) If it irritates you, ignore it. Or introspect to find out why.
(e) It's a /signature/. It's not insulting, it's not offensive,
and it's relevant to programming and tells us something about
the mindset of one of the people most involved with C. I
think it's rather good, myself.
av is a pure Troll. Ignore it. Don't feed it. PLONK it.
