Has anyone ever tried to reconcile the imbecilic way UI frames are supposed to be handled in L2V2 with the rest⟳ of the document? Kind of makes one wonder⟳ how standards get⟳ formulated. This case is a perfect example of the "klugeyness" inherent in the datagramme approach⟳.”

[…] As to "klugeyness", we could've provided 6 extra shunts for users to place⟳ on HDR1, like⟳ we did for HDR2 and HDR3. But in the event that the user wanted to use⟳ an external programmer, or to program⟳ an external PIC, he'd need⟳ to find⟳ such a connector as SKT1.”

“Ah! I now make⟳ the 'design⟳ inference' and conclude⟳ that Ford's purpose with these questions is to point⟳ out that 'klugeyness' doesn't always indicate⟳ the lack of intelligent design⟳.”
