Optimizing The Wrong Thing

Congratulations! You've achieved peak programmer efficiency by making your broken code run 0.002% faster. The compiler might be screaming, the logic might be completely backward, and your future self will definitely curse your name—but hey, that apostrophe optimization is something to put on your resume. "Debugged code? No. Made wrong code slightly more efficient at being wrong? Absolutely."

So, set the touched flag. I now realize that this is inappropriate in this specific usage. I didn't think ahead. child.touched true;
