No you can't. It is an illusion. You snipped the wrong point in
quoting me.
I am not disputing that poor practices and generators in
particular do not help the education of people. In fact, the Andy
D line on this has much to recommend it. But the very thing you
are saying is flat wrong. You can look as hard as you like at a
simple thing and think it is easy to make. And be wrong.
