‘Baffler’ is a word I sometimes use while writing code, but in truth I’m not sure that bafflers really exist. And so goes the legend of the ellucide baffler…
Without a clue we cannot come to a conclusion. But there is always a clue. Therein lies the mystery of the baffler. Why am I baffled? I’m baffled because I work in a world based on rules; yet on occasion I find that these rules seem not to add up. And in those moments I bare witness to what appears to be the legendary baffler. But alas no, a clue becomes evident and the baffler fades like a rainbow; just an illusion created by the rules that govern the refraction of white light.
