 By your definition perhaps Aryeh. The editor is not
making it 'right' its helping you with the code. I
suspect that you discard all uses of IDEs as well. If
you follow this advice I expect that you only use an
editor with no syntax highlight even. Becuase syntax
highlight, becuase it helps you easily understand the
code, is making it 'right'.
