Like if a doctor is using an A or B list, that's hardly art. Everybody and their dog knows that people react differently to medication. That's not art. That's science. And the science says to try the most common effective treatment first, because it is most likely that it will be the best treatment.

When an IT doof calls the same function three times because he can't figure out recursion, that's "art'. When OpenSSL was attacked by heartbleed, and peopele actually looked at the source code and were aghast, those were "artists" that wrote that collosal pile of crap.

If there's one thing that always gets you Fuzz, it's that you prescribe far too much weight to simple labels.
I just want to highlight the hilariousness of this example you chose.
