Well, if you are talking about C, that is *definitely* true. I would think
that would be less the case for languages like Java, Python, PHP, etc.

Of course, it's all what you really mean by "clever". To me, being "clever"
partly means writing code without bugs in the first place, so there is
nothing that needs debugging!!!!!!!!

Well, if anyone can pull that sword from the stone...!
