It says a lot that you didn't read 90% of a 2 minute essay

very cool

well said, yes this is the point I was (apparently failing) to make

well, yes, exactly. I'm not trying to claim that old code is more reliable just because it was written a long time ago, I'm making the claim that old code is more reliable because …

Yes this is what I was trying to say. Code that's been in production for 20 years has less bugs than code that's been around for 20 minutes

ah yes, one person understands the point I was trying to make (:

Thanks, I appreciate the positive feedback.
