"The program was able to go through 37,000 lines in 5 minutes and make the appropriate fixes," he said. "That kind of speed and efficiency was impressive."

Taking into account that he was taling about the Thomas and Bett's corporation having 6.8 Million lines of code...

Let's see, 37,000 lines every five minutes... that means the could have been entirely finished in about 15.3 hours, less than two working days. Well that was the word for today, I wonder if on Wednesday he will make a statement that they are done checking and fixing all the errors. Sounds like a colorful manipulation of statistics. Does this sound like a familiar story to anyone else here in other situations?
