Could you try posting them again?  I've looked through your posts here 
again, and I haven't seen any clear justification for why you think 
Ben's alternative structure for the code is "more error-prone".  Waldek 
and I have both given some (very similar) reasons for why /we/ can see 
the style as potentially error-prone, but we'd like to hear what /your/ 
reasons are.
