I see the big man stepping in to answer for his homies, but while his
explanation satisfies their question of "well why do these magic
values get used then, if what Mark says is true?", it doesn't address
the real confusion:  What is the difference between "script" code
(like Javascript and visual) made for the screen (where such magic
values are utilized) and compiled source (made for the machine)?  And
that is where John, while benevolent, hasn't done the homework of
computer science.   Ask him.
