+Any resemblance between the above views and those of my employer, my terminal,
+or the view out my window are purely coincidental.  Any resemblance between
+the above and my own views is non-deterministic.  The question of the
+existence of views in the absence of anyone to hold them is left as an
+exercise for the reader.  The question of the existence of the reader is left
+as an exercise for the second god coefficient.  (A discussion of
+non-orthogonal, non-integral polytheism is beyond the scope of this article.)
