The one time I met the respectable Prof E.W. Dijkstra (1977 perhaps), he told me that my wife's piano was out of tune. It was of course, but the remark was both rude and irrelevant. I haven't totally trusted him since then. I have no great love for the absolute adherence to Politically Correct (PC, huummm) programming practices either. If your double-break makes sense and works, then good for you !!
