Lew, I find that explanation a bit strange: only reuse of StringBuilder 
makes it possible to not have to create all those superfluous String 
instances.  You make it sound as if reuse and not having to create 
superfluous String objects are somehow antithetic or independent.  If I 
cannot use a StringBuilder and I want to construct a String from parts I 
have to create superfluous String instances - so both facts are really 
related.

Kind regards
