   If it's sacrificial code, why bother with finding the "best way"?

   It would seem that the code only needs to work.  It shouldn't have any   
   need to be optimized.  Should it?  Why optimize something you're   
   intending to throw away?  Hence, I think your first working solution   
   would've been sufficient.   
      
   So, I'm clearly missing the point as to why this endeavor mattered at   
   all now ...  Was this just an intellectual exercise?  Or, was this   
   preparation for the future? etc.
