There was once a master programmer who wrote unstructured programs.
A novice programmer, seeking to imitate him, also began to write
unstructured programs. When the novice asked the master to evaluate
his progress, the master criticized him for writing unstructured programs,
saying, "What is appropriate for the master is not appropriate for the novice.
You must understand Tao before trancending structure."

-- 3.2, The Tao of Programming
