  • Emphasize that, as a consequence, it is the programmer’s responsibility to ensure the code does what is intended before it compiles.
    • If the programmer does not take this responsibility the computer will run bad, illogical, silly, dangerous, or otherwise maligned code, so long as it compiles.
