Yes Charles you're right, but Gerald has a point. The fact is, the Microsoft programmer can just say "yes, it makes maintainability harder, but the resultant code runs 1.732% faster, and we decided that speed was more important." And my guess is that the law will presume that the Microsoft programmer knows more about Microsoft code than anyone else. You and I know that that wasn't the real consideration, and that the programmer is lying, but Farber's testimony won't knock it down. What the DOJ really needs is a document, some sort of email that says "let's integrate the code so that it's harder to use Netscape." That's the sort of support that the DOJ needs for this part of the case.
