"For the foregoing reasons I generally prefer the approach taken by Mr Whitaker. His views, as contained in his second report (No 7/8 of process) appeared to me to be based on the factual evidence. Moreover, his method of proceeding appeared to be based on sound practical experience and on common sense; I also found the logical connections that he drew in discussing programming to be entirely intelligible."
