Having just dealt with it again, I'm tempted to grumble that Java's OOP is firmly within that 90%.

What happens when something is recursively buried in 90% crap? Is its own 90% particularly crappy?

It's more like the limit converges on some x in 0..1 with 90% being the most probable.

yup, i have always maintained it is a recursive/fractal/recurrence thing where 90% of the remaining 10% is crap, ad nauseum. crap all the way down.
