Since it was publicly posted code, I don't see a problem with "public judgment" either.

So judge that code. There simply isn't enough information to presume programmer incompetence (let alone make a strong presumption).

In my experience, code reviews are humbling to one and all: Bear that in mind before you raise charges of incompetence.

Sure, but as someone said above

"I agree in theory, but ... converting a float to a string to compute an average?"

We'll have to agree to disagree on whether code like this indicates programmer incompetence. To me, it does. YMMV.
