“There is a tendency in our field to believe that everything we
currently use is a paragon of engineering, rather than a snapshot
of our understanding at the time. We build great myths of spin
about how what we have done is the only way to do it, to the point
that our universities now teach the flaws to students (and
professors and textbook authors) who don’t know any better.”
– John Day (an Internet pioneer and historian)
