@ -8,8 +8,7 @@ In this paper, we aim to answer a long-standing open problem in the programming
We answer this question in the affirmative: it **is possible** to smear paint on the wall without creating a valid Perl program. We employ an empirical approach, using optical character recognition (OCR) software, which finds that merely 93% of paint splatters parse as valid Perl. We analyze the properties of paint-splatter Perl programs, and present seven examples of paint splatters which are not valid Perl programs.

Why do schools teach vocational skills so young these days?"
