SLSL Intro "Just by Stroking a Few Keys"

[Dave Monroe]

   "The lesson here, obvious but now and then
overlooked, is just to corroborate one's data, in
partuicular those acquired casually, such as through
hearsay or off the backs of record albums.  We have,
after all, recently moved into an era when, at least
in principle, everybody can share an inconceivably
enormous amount of information, just by stroking a few
keys on a terminal.  There are no longer any excuses
for small stupid mistakes, and I hope this also leads
to much more inhibition about stealing data on the
chance that no one will catch it." (SL, "Intro," p.
16)
