Making blanket statements that goto is evil suffers from the dangers of Cargo Cultism.

I couldn't agree more!
By the way, who was it that said that goto is evil? (certainly not me)

but if it's learned behavior by ROTE rather than comprehension then the inherent wisdom is lost.

My sentiments exactly.

I might also add that making assumptions (and drawing conclusions) about one's level of knowledge and experience based on minimal evidence often does the recepient no justice at all, and in some cases can cause hurt and resentment - which does nobody any good.

But it's okay, because I'm not the type of person to take any of this personally :)
