To quote you:<br><br>"This is completely wrong. Source code is perfectly understandable to computers. Indeed, there are programs called interpreters that allow computers to directly execute programs stored in source code form."<br><br>The fact that the computer needs an additional interpreter to understand the source code means that the computer does not understand the source code at all. By your logic I can be accused understanding Japanese if there happens to be a person standing next to me who can interpret for me. I cannot understand a word of Japanese and unless I have the internal ability to do so you cannot rightfully accuse me of that capability.Michael LeeFri, 23 Feb 2007 11:39:15 -0000
