Just to give you an analogy with something that you are familiar with: saying that Dijkstra *was pretty much right about* something in CS, is like saying that Stroustrup pretty much knows how to program… (no offence to my friends at Bell Labs)

2. It’s funny that you mentioned recursions because that’s abother thing that is not allowed in production code in many companies (again, this is true for every company I worked for)
3. The fact that you wrote Exception with a capital E exposes you ;)

2. Your thumb rule works only when there are no recursions, from any kind.
3. What is an Exception? :)
