@dibblego@darinmorrison The quote uses a particular definition of "program" which I believed to be widely held. Apparently it isn't.
@djspiewak @darinmorrison there is no definition where the quote makes any sense at all. It is held by no single person.

@dibblego@darinmorrison Clearly it’s not held by “no single person” since I hold the definition as well as SPJ. -
@djspiewak@darinmorrison it is far more likely that you have misunderstood than SPJ saying something so obviously wrong. - Show replies
