I want to suggest to you today, that unless we have a tolerant attitude
toward mistakes - I might almost say "a positive attitude toward them" -
we shall be behaving irrationally, unscientifically, and unsuccessfully.
Now, of course, if you now say to me, "Look here, you weird Limey, are you
seriously advocating relaunching the Edsel?" I will reply, "No."
There are mistakes - and mistakes. There are true, copper-bottom mistakes
like spelling the word "rabbit" with three Ms; wearing a black bra under a
white shirt; or, to take a more masculine example, starting a land war in Asia.
These are the kind of mistakes described by Mr. David Letterman as
Brushes With Stupidity, because they have no reasonable chance of success.

Contrasting this modest effort [of Seymour Cray in his laboratory to build

The primary purpose of the DATA statement is to give names to
constants; instead of referring to pi as 3.141592653589793 at every
appearance, the variable PI can be given that value with a DATA
statement and used instead of the longer form of the constant. This
also simplifies modifying the program, should the value of pi change.
