Absolutely.
If there is anything I've learned about "the Internet" it is that
if you ask a difficult question you will get very little in the
way of answers you can trust a priori. However, if you make a false
claim, then people will come out of the woodwork to tell you that
"You are a doofus and here is why." Ergo, the way to ask a question
is to make a false claim the summed corrections to which contain the
answer to the question you wanted to ask.
We now return you to your program already in progress,
