Sorry dws, the masked stranger is right. This is from the last section of chapter 9. The full paragraph is: Much more often, strategic breakthrough will come from redoing the representation of the data or tables. This is where the heart of a program lies. Show me your flowcharts and conceal your tables, and I shall continue to be mystified. Show me your tables, and I won't usually need your flowcharts; they'll be obvious.	[reply]
