I remembered it as 'Show me your tables,...", which looks even more
applicable in this list. A quick googgle search for SMYT did in fact
return a link to wikiquote at the top, it says "Show me your
flowcharts and conceal your tables, and I shall continue to be
mystified. Show me your tables, and I won’t usually need your
flowcharts; they’ll be obvious. " from TMMM, so its normal I remember
it that way ( I still own it and reread some chunks every couple of
years. )
