    Urg.

   Am going to get nasty.

   Once upon a time, a long time ago, Homebrew computer club daze to be 
more specific, there as a rather intelligent person (Tom Pittman) who 
wrote an error-free and bug-free Basic interpreter for the RCA COSMAC micro.
   Yes, i know, the Basic interpreter that came with the COSMAC had 
(shall we be polite) had problems.
   It is my understanding that Tom Pittman alerted appropriate people at 
RCA, and was ignored.

   So, it is not enough to be able to write bug and error free programs 
as well as able to mathematically prove that.

   Poly-ticks byte.
