Of course the original post about Indirection vs Abstract was by Zed A. Shaw [0].

I strongly like to urge authors to give credit where credit is due. IMO this post should have at least mentioned the original article.

Thanks for sharing this link. That's a really good essay!

I had not read it before writing my post, but it definitely looks worth linking to.

Wow. This is a far better article than the one posted. I didn't have to read it four times to figure out what the point was.
