I lived through the era when you had to place your hand over your heart 
and swear eternal allegiance to top down structured programming and 
promise to never use the evil GOTO.

Rather like the grammarian’s damnation of ending a sentence with a

seen. The programming example is a bit more hypocritical since in most 
cases you want the compiler to do the dirty work.
