So:

Variables must be initialized (1) with the correct initial values 
(1).

If the compiler outputs an error saying "variable not 
initialized" the programmer will fix this error mechanically 
(initialize the variable with the first "correct" value that 
comes to mind, most likely 0.0).

If the compiler politely remains silent but initializes the 
variable with a default value that will most likely lead to an 
incorrect result, the programmer will notice the bug and be 
forced to find the correct initial value to fix it.

A dirty manipulation :-) ingenious though.

What about integers? Why not initialize it with .max? Or some 
prime number?
