If I hack the hell out of some yacc/lex output and put that in my program, the yacc/lex files aren't the source anymore, the C code is. Same deal with hacking a binary directly.
I agree with you. I'm just saying there is a difference between "hack[ing] the hell out of" something and a trivial change.
If I changed the yacc output by doing a simple find/replace on a variable name, and tried to call that output "source", I hope you'd call that crazy.
