    It’s a sentiment at least as old as the first things that we now call computers.

    On two occasions I have been asked, “Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?” … I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

    —Charles Babbage
