Ah, I get it.
'It would not surprise me to learn that "VB" was really someone's private joke to describe Microsoft as very bad, is a comment
And, mentioning that the "interpreter" would reject it (and would be needed to do so) is equally as compelling a point, is a command.
''So, commenting a comment would likely have to be like this, which could not confused with """ or "' '."
I think I would likely need much more powerful glasses much more often if I had to frequently look for those kinds of differences a/k/a better you than me kimosabe. I'll stick to looking for differences in the meaning of comments and commands containing big (and many) words rather than small symbols.
I think I just figured out Enron's and Anderson's real problems (or at least what they should use for a defense): they just miscoded - as + (since they are right next to each other on the far right side of the keyboard they cannot be that different, right?) or, even better, some code monkey (who they have now fired and-or has committed suicide) just inadvertently inserted ' in front of all of the lines of code that Anderson and Enron really intended to cause things to be commands to properly account for and properly disclose everything all along. Instead of code commands to disclose everything being executed, however, they remained concealed comments buried deep within a program that they have just now been able to discover. It might have even been a conspiracy between the programmer and Dynergy or other competitor. Heck, with enough money and a well picked jury (maybe in California and we could have OJ as a consultant), it might be sellable.
