You've just helped to prove my case.
Let's take a detour into the chatroom first shall we?
Take a look at these particular lines from the chatroom.
<Douglas> good call not to use access btw
<Campy> Damn straight
<Campy> I was coding it in notepad before I did it in Access
<Campy> I had to learn VB and SQL as I went along just because I hate Access that much >_>
Seems like quite an awful lot of work just to type that file. An awful lot of
unnecessary work.
Let's take a look at the chart shall we?
Author: Daniel Siviter Tester: Daniel Siviter
Now look at the chart being filled in.
Test Data: Tick the Off Peak box and press “Calculate” again.
Expected Output: The cost of the stay will decrease. Note this in the comments section.
Observed output: As expected.
Results/Comments: £615
Now, why is the Expected Output labled that it is in the comments section? There is enough room to put it in the comments section so why is it there? The answer is...
...because it was
necessary.
Let's review the article in the chat room if you please.

The defendant is fond of doing unnecessary work and is not fond of doing plain necessary work. Knowing this, everything filled out in the Results/Comments section was unnecessary and everything not filled out was necessary. Allow me to explain.
And lastly we have the plan filled out by the defendant himself. It is only natural that everything went as he expected and thus no additional comments were necessary.
If everything was expected, why did you make additional comments if it was not necessary? It is because it wasn't necessary. You are fond of doing unnecessary work and not interested in doing what is only necessary as shown in the chatroom article. Additional comments being unnecessary, what does that make the
results and comments that weren't filled out? The answer is completely necessary.
You didn't leave the Results/Comments section blank because it was unnecessary but, because you weren't interested in doing the necessary work because you are a procrastinator who isn't capable of doing the necessary work!
