Q&A response - new interpretation of R16

My code mentors once told me, "A good programmer can look at a library, decide he hates it, and code everything from scratch. An amazing programmer can look at a library, decide he hates it, but realize the time it will save him and learn to use it." - slavik262 [more]

No they didn't. Read the Q&A answer again.

The rule is exactly the same as it was when it was written. An 80-inch square would have a diagonal measurement of 113.14 inches, which is a clear violation of the rule.
