So, for example, if I say Walter was wrong in not allowing a
class to be an encapsulated type, then I'm going to anger the
Walter-loving tribe members?
And therefore, I really should rephrase what I want to say, in
put it in a way that doesn't anger the Walter-loving tribe
members?
I mean Walter can handle that sort of criticism very well .. he
doesn't need protection from anyone. That's the thing I like most
about Walter actually.
But still, he was WRONG!
