My point is that there are really few hard arguments in the publication 
but
plenty of opinions instead. Thus there isn't much to agree with in it 
presented,
but plenty of things which you can feel free to obey instead. BTW. 
Isn't the
author the same person we have the gratitude to thank for the register 
stack
and hidden bits design of the 8087? Hmm...
