'To a large degree' is a 'problem' in my view. One
occassionally reads e.g. some negative opinions about
certain MS products. They are however certainly correct
'to a large degree', don't they? I am not entirely sure
that all crypto codes that are popularly used in practice
are written in such a way that they are easily readable
(hence visually verifiable for correctness) by persons
other than their authors.
