* The written word is a very poor mechanism for
communicating procedure. Tom says, "Produre is like
dance, it defies written description."

Interesting... It seems that procedure and even thoughts MUST be
connected with words in some way. One may be able to better ~show~
procedure using a flowchart or other "visual" medium. But I don't think
that procedure "defies" written description. It can't. Denying the
viability of words is intellectually dishonest. It's like saying there
are no absolutes.
