Integrity Checker - Lies!
« on: February 24, 2017, 11:05:47 am »
While recovering from the loss of a highly connected item from the repository (see: Additional Check before Purging of highly connected Items), we had only partially recovered our connector proxy elements.  Consequently, the Integrity Checker [Shift+F9] made some pronouncements:

ProxyConnector20, ProxyConnector19, ProxyConnector18...  Etc.

There's only one problem, these objects DON'T exist, they're all called "ProxyConnector".

How can we trust an Integrity checker that lies?

Is that like, how can you trust a President who gets his world news from Fox?

"You might well think that...  I couldn't possibly say that!"

On a related topic, it seems to me why Donald likes twitter so much is that it matches his mental model.  He speaks (and presumably thinks) in tweets (140 characters).

I ever hoped to see more of what this checker actually does. Or that it's fired up more regularly with some automation. Yes, would be nice. But will we ever see that? My guss is: no, we will not.
