Actually, this article is quite relevant to this thread in a way... It 
highlights how differently we all think (hardwired or not I don't know) 
and therefore why this string can go on for ever. I suspect that 
different approaches to expressing the abstract stuff of computer 
programming suit different ones of us and the way our brains work.
