A comment on 'Dynamic' assembler with GC.

This might be cool or not, I don't understand a word of it (also for lack of patience). However it reminds me how simple it is to appear smart: just keep babbling about things nobody understands. The thing is they might actually be easy things, but because other people are not used to the context of the things, they can not follow you as quickly as you can talk. Therefore they'll assume you are smart. In reality, you are just talking about irrelevant stuff.

I don't understand a word of it -> nobody understands

Quite a leap, sir.

I see; so you're not accusing him of babbling?

No - it just reminded me of that concept, and I babbled about it. As I said, I did not have the patience to actually try to understand what Zed wrote. So I can not know if it was babbling or not.

It's not a good idea to make widely generalizing comments about something you admittedly don't understand.

It seems people did not understand what I was trying to say - whatever.
