before vs on in behavior scripts - red herring alert!

[Bob Sneidar]

When I worked on Radars, many technicians were convinced there were electronic gremlins, because the rate at which the equipment suffered a failure within days before a missile test was uncanny. I am not superstitious, but by the time I was discharged, I was not ruling out the possibility.

I like "kabouters".  I have a friend who refers to unexpected behavior in software as the work of faeries.  I imagine Brahmanathswami blames the Menehuni.  I blame Coyote, the mischievous spirit the native Californians blamed for the inexplicable annoyances of their world. :)
