You might look at his response to one of my posts. Also, I can back up that statement with actual cases of major code. I have been programming since the late 70's, and in C++ as my primary language since 1990 (Zortech, Borland and now Visual C++). I have become convinced of the the ability to plan, design and test out bugs because I have seen it work and prove itself in production environments.

Too bad you are willing to accept mediocrity. I think it can be done better and I have done better personally. And this was done on code used by thousands of users.
