but equally, don't overestimate the seeming functional equivalence of
two things with rows and columns. A spreadsheet is a good small dataset
analysis tool, and a passable data entry medium. See Risks Digest
(particularly vol 20.84, "Report on hacker altering MIT grades: NOT!",
<http://catless.ncl.ac.uk/Risks/20.84.html#subj1>, and following
articles in later volumes) for more details.
