Other vendors did similar things. The one that caught my eye merely said something like "We have Pitman errors." which was not as flattering, I thought. I wish I could remember the detail more precisely, and who said it.
At the time, I told myself "In my next life, I'll do something like benchmarks." since it sounded cooler to be known for the Gabriel benchmarks than the Pitman errors.

Hmmm... I reply as a side observer here. How many people today remember _Performance and Evaluation of Lisp Programs_? I don't really know, even if asking the question may seem like I expect that the answer is "few". _________ As a zeroeth approximation, an unbaked title of "Failures and Continuations of Lisp Programs" comes to mind. It would need reworking, if it could be made to work at all. @kentpitman@climatejustice.social @amoroso@oldbytes.space
