I suppose this comment is exactly the kind of profound original human content the site is trying to protect. All thoughts are utimately human in origin and most are derived though many processes rather than a single person's mind. Not all—or even most—critical thinking requires tracing chain of provenance. In the case of a compiled binary sharing the function is the goal of communication—not sharing the development process. Did I include enough em dashes to satisfy your critical thinking substitute?

Like using GCC, if you send me the output instead of the input I will refuse to read a single line of it.
