    It's more of a joke by the esteemed Damian Conway. Remember - most of Perl is a thermonuclear device ... which is why it's so good at swatting flies. :-)

    Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
    Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
    Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
    Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.

      And the ones you miss will glow in the dark there by making pass two much easier...
