Why are you so glad about all these tricks being exposed anyway?
It is only to the advantage of the great programmers, implementation is all that
is left when there are no more secrets.

It just raises the level so it becomes harder and harder to compete and all
programs will converge to the same strength. There is not much sport in that
IMO.

One of Ed's ideas was already on my todo-list, now it's on everybodys todo list!
I'm not sure how I feel about that....
