On his many journeys his disciples often asked St. Crockford:
Master. If the DOM is as impure as you say, why are we bound to it? Wouldn't it be prudent to turn away from it and seek the will of Teh Script within Teh Script itself?
He would tell them:
Without the passing of the night, would you recognize dawn for what it was? If you hadn't worn out your old clothes, would you acquire the new ones? The pure is meaningless without the impure. It is through VDOM that the true acolyte of Teh Script seeks ascendance, as it is the true pure mirror of the impure.
