Curves are certainly a load of rubbish. If printers
would learn to forget all this complicated
mumbo-jumbo, and just be happy with whatever comes up
in the developer dish, this list would have a lot less
useless chatter. Who cares about all this obsession
with sophisticated maths, when true mediocrity is
right under our noses?

It really is not hard if you don't care.
