Not at all.  The comment was made that someone would prefer C style's switch 
statement to the Pascals style Select statement that we use in RPG.

We were just discussing the merits of each.

Now, it would be a good thing to have a switch AND a select statement in RPG so 
you could pick your poison, but I doubt if that would happen, any time soon 
anyway.  And I think that would really confuse people.

I don't understand why "select/when" in RPG is all of a sudden being
compared with the "switch/case" in C.  They are not the same thing, and
do not work the same way.

<SNIP>

So, why are people trying to make a comparison between select/when and
switch/case?!  Is it just because they have (slightly) similar names?
