oh, the temptation

[cellio]

I'm reviewing some documentation I wrote back when I first joined this company, to see if it's still accurate. I encountered the following statement (in a situation where A logically must be greater than B):

"[class] does no checking of these two values; if you set [A] to be less than [B], the results are undefined."

What I really want to write instead is: "if..., you will deserve what you get, and don't call us for support".

But that would be unprofessional. Shucks. :-)

It was DateCenturyThreshold.

Remind me: what class was that in?

"if you do this, any possible implementation will violate your expectations in some cases."

That sounds like something I wrote. Pity about the heaping helping. Though it might be worth a grep on the doc set for "hurting", in case Deanna or I took this idea and applied it elsewhere.

DateCenturyThreshold was one of the environment options in NLPEnvironment.

I think the "... will violate your expectations" sounds like something I would have written, actually. However, I have no idea anymore.
