In the section "From dissemination back to ethos" A sentence starts like this:

"make is a Script"

Uh?

Really? file /usr/bin/make /usr/bin/make: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, BuildID[sha1]=3b0ddf3be104de4e5e023681f6db3c143c5ad798, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, stripped make is a program, not a script. Maybe it was a script back then. What was the interpreter?

Every time I get with badly cooked Makefile a song comes to mind:

"I am the maker of rules Dealing with fools I can cheat you blind"
