I totally agree. We have benefacted from the experience of earlier acheivements,
just as the rest of the world has.

To say that today's programs are the best of all-time, is a slap in the face of
the older generation of programs. Nothing has been proved. Today's standard are
so much higher than they were back then. There is really no comparison.
