He has scientific and unequivocal proof of that does he?
He is a better researcher than I thought. Any fool knows that saying 99.9%
of anything actually means 100% but tries to allow a small breathing space
to allow those that think they are above his total 'tar everyone with the
same brush' attitude, to think they are the exceptional, untouched few.

Maybe he should change the title to something he can really get his arse
sued for, like 'Why most website design applications help the uncaring and
the uneducated congest the internet with shite coding ' Catchy huh?

Ok Ok I will let it go, I am the last one that should be getting a wild hair
up their ass about this. I would have thought those that kill themselves
producing good quality code every day would be more insulted at the title.
Just my opinion.
