Someone in some third world country proved Goldbach's conjecture.
Proof is there and accepted by everyone that understand what/how he does  
it.
What are you going to do as the all mighty objective wikipedia?
Are you going to wait till that guy get matured enough and write a book  
about the meaning of life, before you label him as a human being?
Or maybe you want to talk about his proof after a thousand of failed  
attempts?

CTFE in essance meta-programming i agree, but comparing to others like  
comparing a tree to a forest.
And no one here claimed D is the inventor of meta-programming.
