When I was in grade school, I noticed that a map of my neighborhood showed a
non-existent road going smack thru the middle of a large non-acknowledged
pond.  Investigation revealed that map makers insert deliberate errors for
the same reason:  to prove that someone else copied their work.  That was
the day I decided to become a programmer <wink>.
