You're waaaaaay out of date.

That post was about Jason's original instructions. Did you know that we

performs rather than the physical world or a process because this
maximizes  the  potential  for it to be applied to tasks that are
conceptually  similar and more importantly to tasks that have not
yet been conceived.
