public double SquareRoot(double n)

//return NewtonRaphsonSquareRoot(n);
return WalshFastReciprocalSquareRoot(n);

The reality is these little things like comments and variable names are a frequent cause for flame wars among developers. There is a category of coders who pretend their code is too good to need comments. And always this statement is pure BS. No code is clear or good enough taken out of the context of the original development. Constraints, requirements etc. change in time to the point where the original code seems dumb. If anybody is interested I wrote some of my thoughts on how bad comments are born here: http://littletutorials.com/2008/07/30/how-bad-comments-are-born-in-your-code/ Thanks for the good and entertaining read :) Lots of common sense in your post :) Maybe so much some people cannot stomach it.
