RE: RPG Cycle (was Reinventing Code)

RANT(*AGHAST)

Can this be true?  I am sitting here absolutely flabbergasted that anyone would 
teach RPG and not require a thourough grounding in the cycle.  

RANT(*LARGE)

The concept is so simple, and the results so predictable that any one that 
ignores the cycle is ignoring one of RPG's greatest strengths.  Additionally, 
there is so much cycle code out there right now, how can an instructor not 
teach the cycle?  How can a programmer claim to be an RPG programmer and not 
understand the cycle?  

RANT(*LARGER)

Are these people that started with a C course in college and feel they are the 
last great cowboy and its up to them to  preserve the Code of the West by 
rolling their own?
