I'm assuming that they are long because they include
segments that are in the standard but are not used in
the particular implementation. Is that right?

Obviously, then it is due to inexperience or rank
stupidity.

<<We are at such a point in mankind's evolution where changed conditions

confused-but our mistake is the same which many cultures have made before us,
namely to force a rigid model upon a fluid reality.
