Well, since code can't be code until it gets to machine instructions and assembly is the closest to MI, it is almost a direct correlation. (In fact, I haven't the faintest what MI is, other than something I never worked with.) Basically, a single higher level language instruction converts to a set of MI commands. So, the object of both is to produce MI. I may have lost the point in the second sentence, but I wouldn't go to being a non sequitur.

Agreed. My rebuttal was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek. :) So's this one.
