  14. : What we are discussing is
  15. : the notion that some people seem to have that "correct style" is more
  16. : important than speed.
  17.  
  18. I thought we were discussing the notion that some people seem to have 
  19. that once correctness and speed have been acheived, style is of 
  20. little value.
  21.  
  22. I claim that *both* of these "notions" are incorrect.
