Payoff Matrix - Feedback Counter (Tidy up script)

[Caleb J. Picker]

David,

Thank you so much for your advice!  My programming tends to lean toward your 
"Hierarchy of Goals".  I agree that 1-3 of most value to any scientist, but 
achieving these goals should still never fully negate goals 4 and 5.  This 
is because goals 4 and 5 could necessarily lead to future achievement of 
goals 1-3!  It is for this reason that I posted on this group in the first 
place.

I want to make a final comment on your "dAccuracyDisplay" reply.  When you 
talk about separating the "how much" from the "why", you mean to say that 
this is good practice, correct?  This is good practice because it allows you 
to think more lucidly within the moment.  For example, if the code 
representing these concepts were muddled/mixed, then it might be more 
difficult to change/diagnose any problems that arise from said code. 
 However, if these codes were separate, it makes it easier to pinpoint the 
problem.  If this is correct, then I understand what you mean.  Writing code 
is like writing a story, you have an object/character that has a goal.  The 
code itself is how the character achieves that goal.  Therefore, writing 
good code is like writing a clear, easy-to-understand story.  Although it 
can be achieved, it just takes practice and diligence.

Thank you,

Caleb
