Honestly yes, a little.  We're talking extreme generalities here, and 
it's something that is extremely specific.  Give me a specification and 
I'll tell you how I'd implement it.  Ask me how to implement a status 
return code when you have no specification for what to do and I'll tell 
you it can't be done.

You have to have a spec.  If you don't have a spec, you can't write code 
and then say "this is correct" because you have nothing to test the code 
against.
