On the other hand a well crafted table may last hundreds of years. The longest I've had a piece of code in production for is about 15 years and I consider that a very long time for code to remain in production essentially unchanged!

    Old tables still need to be refinished and polished every now and then.
    And, if you divide by the number of years that the technology has been around, that table starts to look pretty transient compared to your code.
