  1. Our readingCode should be accepted based on its merit and accountability for it should be assigned.

    Their wordsAccept code on merit and ensure that a person takes accountability for it. Doesn’t matter if it was typed, chiseled, generated, or bit-flipped via magnetized needle on a chip. If it’s good, it’s good. If it’s slop, it’s slop.
