[edit] Origin of the law

In the article on Niklaus Wirth, it says:

In 1995, he popularized the adage now known as Wirth's law: "Software gets slower faster than hardware gets faster", although in his 1995 paper A Plea for Lean Software he attributes it to Martin Reiser.^[1]

Should this citation be in this article as well? --Dennette 19:48, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
