Which means that the assumption really is that you are evaluating a
system, not a bald piece of code. I don't consider that an assumption.
When you're writing code that you will yourself deploy, you take full
responsibility; when you let other people deploy it, they have to take
ultimate responsibility (although they will legitimately expect you to
provide an install script and/or instructions).

There are idiots in this world.
