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>.
