That is such an over-simplistic criteria! Proof by the absurd: pass your code through an obfuscator / simplifier and the output won't be affected.

Ok?

So if the boss's nitpick is "you must pass your code thru an indicator that doesn't affect the output", I'm going to ignore it. I don't understand what point you're trying to make.
