Ah, I miss having Kurt here to point out at length that this is BAD and WRONG and EVIL. Won't someone please step up in his place?
And yet, here you are in this thread TITLED Why isn't "Machine Doubling" Considered an Error? Did you perhaps misread the title as "Machine...
But how do you rinse off the water left by that last rinse of... oh, never mind. ;)
