Hello,

Yes you are absolutely right. I have to put a lot of thought into 
decisions like that, and possibly convert the pieces of code into 
ontologies which I then visualize using modern 3D technologies to see 
which solution seems more semantic.

I understand what you mean by your example. No matter what though, 
the most logical solution always wins. Forgive me if I'm wrong, as 
I'm not familiar with every premise that might come into play, but 
wouldn't be the latter be more correct?

Thanks a lot Justin!

All the best,
Kyrre
