    True - But someone who builds up experience of such things can learn to more reliably determine the risk.
    there is nothing wrong with experience, if therte was, I would be up the creek re the '51 :)

    Of course, were I to 'verify' my assumption that a char is 8 bits every time I type char, I would never get anywhere.

    I can state my point in another way, which may be better: "when you see a bug, before anything else, verify the correctness of your assumptions"
