This is not quite true. Furthermore, it is an old paradigm. Programs be written to handle "unpredictable data" (unexpected, is a better term). It can, also, be written to learn how to handle such unexpected input. I do admit that there are very few involved with PG that can do such programming, and the programs used are not designed that way. regards Keith.
