I fully agree on this.  I just ask not to break fundamental
principles of operation which have been in use forever.

Parallel NOR is memory - reading memory must not depend on MTD.

In the pitiful, multipage, connection-boxed form to which  the  flow-
chart  has  today  been  elaborated, it has proved to be useless as a
design tool -- programmers draw flowcharts after, not before, writing
the programs they describe.                        - Fred Brooks, Jr.
