I absolutely appreciate respectful disagreement!

The point I often try to make is just how easy it is to get the right result, for the wrong reasons. (especially in loose languages like JavaScript). It goes from making more scientific proofs to, "I saw what I wanted to see on the screen - I can't exactly say why, but I think it's because my code is sound".

It's the equivalent to, "this new flea killer kills twice as many fleas". "What did you change?" "Four different things", "which one ended up being the thing that actually made it work?", "dunno, but now we're seeing twice as many fleas dead!".
