What part of the comment makes you think they are claiming that?


The part I quoted? I don't really see how to interpret it any other way.


Thanks, I’m not thinking clearly at all. I had it in my head that programming instruction are not the only way that a computer might do as it’s told. For example, if we delete a folder in a UI by accident we shouldn’t be surprised the folder is gone. But it doesn’t really quite fit the parent analogy. Sorry about that.
