You are really funny. Do you think reading the source to a program
turns somebody into a programmer?! OTOH, last time I paid a plumber
to do some work in my house, I had to make corrections to what he
did afterwards.  His work was clearly visible, not hidden in a
black box. I won't say this made me a plumber though... I am also
pretty sure I will hire a plumber next time I need something done
to my plumbing.  Thing is, it is always good to be able to fix
things. I think my plumber agrees, by the way.
