That would be for production code correct? Let's parse the real
meaning of the emulating monkey-sheep-speech designed to impress the
perceived Alpha Males.
Argh: You are a stupid fool and I am more superior than you. [While
the monkey-sheep looks back for approval and acceptance from the
perceived Alpha Males.]
Let's examine some code from the good Doctors site:

How do I write this very simple program?
[small bit of verbage snipped]
#include<iostream>
int main()
{
vector<double> v;
double d;
while(cin>>d) v.push_back(d); // read elements
if (!cin.eof()) { // check if input
failed
cerr << "format error\n";
return 1; // error return
}
cout << "read " << v.size() << " elements\n";
reverse(v.begin(),v.end());
cout << "elements in reverse order:\n";
for (int i = 0; i<v.size(); ++i) cout << v
<< '\n';
return 0; // success return
}

And another:
<quote>
int main()
{
cout << "Please enter a word:\n";
string s;
cin>>s;
cout << "You entered " << s << '\n';
}

You'll find his usage of "using namespace std;" all through his
examples.
If it's good enough for the "founder/creator" then it's good enough
for... well I guess we're going to find out.
I think it's clear, in short *example* programs it should not be a
constant myopic language lawyer wannabe's dream to constantly,
snottily, constantly, pedantically, constantly, humorlessly,
constantly beat that dead horse to a pulp.
