I love the term "software archaeology" because it implies the existence of subfields such as "software experimental archaeology" (attempting to reconstruct and demonstrate how people once built software) and "software paleoethnobotany" (quantifying what botanicals were culturally significant to software and the broader historic implications to the societies that wrote it), but also the existence of the broader field "software anthropology" and its offshoot "software sociology", and
I have thought about this and I've decided actually I can approve of it, but only if they (1) apply it to all objects and (2) only allow objects to target to the Moon.

And copied snip, and call to the Command,
Tell that its Coder well those Bindings read
Which yet compile, loaded into these emulated 'wares
The hand that wrote them, and the fingers that bled;
