I did such excursion in [[Chapter 1]]. The need for [[Cluelessness]] is shown there by describing history of computer languages and their oscillation between [[Rationalism]] and [[Empiricism]] resulting in more easy to use languages (e.g. for dummies) that produce programs requiring gigabytes of memory, tons of CPU time and sometimes enormous amount of virtualization to execute. |

Very entertaining and in my opinion showing the incorrigible mankind's desire for [[cluelessness]] too. | I believed my explanation was at least a bit entertaining, but it is definitely nothing compared to [http://james-iry.blogspot.com/2009/05/brief-incomplete-and-mostly-wrong.html A Brief, Incomplete, and Mostly Wrong History of Programming Languages].
