I notice that Garbage In, Garbage Out redirects to this page. Shouldn't that be the other way around? - Anon
Quotations
The heading of the Computer Stupidities (http://www.rinkworks.com/stupid/) web page has this quotation from Charles Babbage:
I have frequently been asked by Members of Parliament, "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine the wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" I have not been able to fully comprehend the level of stupidity needed to ask this question.
Should this be mentioned here? It sounds like a good analogy to GIGO.
