Figuring out what code does is useless without knowing what it's supposed 
to do.  The Javadoc is a critical part of this, and frankly there isn't

I'm not following your metaphor.  What exactly is the titanic here?  The 
AS?  Does that make you William Pirrie?  ;-)

Seriously we all want to make things better here, and frankly we could 
really use your help, not your insults.
