OK, I can't resist anymore :-)

I thought one of the nice things about C was the programmer's ability to do
anything, regardless of whether or not it makes sense. If you use the break;
you can separate each case. If you don't, you allow follow-through. It seems
to me that if this flexibility makes it hard for you to work with, maybe C
isn't the language for you. I personally like having the compiler allow me to
do whatever I want without delving into Assembler -- that's why I use C
instead of other languages.

Am I off-base with this opinion?
