1. People who are deliberately stupid like that deserve what they get.
With LaTeX you have to shoot yourself in the foot deliberately, whereas
Office does it for you. Nice automation feature. :(
2. Stuff in an \iffalse block doesn't appear anywhere in the output.
3. You don't have to reverse engineer anything. If nobody is saying
anything stupid in the LaTeX source, nothing stupid winds up in the PDF.
Cheers
