Not even that. How do you know the compiler isn't inserting backdoors?

I'll second your statement in the first paragraph. It may not be the best option, but I don't see what you're describing isn't equivalent to half of my classes where I only ever saw the TA teach, or the Prof was there but simply read off slides.

Even if they really wanted to, it's not how they were used to making money. I remember getting various "CD" versions of Encarta, Britannica, etc, with computers and I don't recall them taking off either.

Why would we assume that most government officials would be any more competent?
