deadly CELKO drone about standards, which just irritated me without providi=
ng useful help <<
Next time, look up those standards. Read them. That is where my help
occurs -- you learn to do it yourself instead of asking other people
to do your job for you.
Gee, I am sorry that Standards are such a burden to your cowboy
programming. Please let me tell your employer that none of your code
matches ANSI or ISO or industry standards so they can praise you for
your technical competence.
Maybe being an adult in situations where doing things worong would
kill you or other people has made me appreciate learning how to do
things right.
If you need help reading the Standards and basic RDBMS design and
basic SQL programing, then call me as an "expert witness" like a
lawyer or other professional would do when they have a problem.

Probably not. A few adults from a Jesuit Catholic school, Zen monks
(my wife, Soto Zen, ordination 2008) and Marines recognize the
teaching technique.
but whining self-centered children have problems with this. I am not
honoring their entitlement!

Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One's Own
Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments
Justin Kruger and David Dunning
Department of Psychology
Cornell University
Abstract:
People tend to hold overly favorable views of their abilities in many
social and intellectual domains. The authors suggest that this
overestimation occurs, in part, because people who are unskilled in
these domains suffer a dual burden: Not only do these people reach
erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but their
incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it.
Across 4 studies, the authors found that participants scoring in the
bottom quartile on tests of humor, grammar, and logic grossly
overestimated their test performance and ability. Although their test
scores put them in the 12th percentile, they estimated themselves to
be in the 62nd. Several analyses linked this miscalibration to
deficits in metacognitive skill, or the capacity to distinguish
accuracy from error. Paradoxically, improving the skills of
participants, and thus increasing their metacognitive competence,
helped them recognize the limitations of their abilities.
