No worries. I know your intent was good. I think that you were trying to steer people towards taking advantage of what the language or compiler supports. For example, given:

uint ComputeIQ(uint age)
{
    :
}

There is never a need to check for a negative like:

uint ComputeIQ(uint age)
{
    if (age < 0)
        throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("age");
    :
}

Or use the MayBe type or Option(Of T) that can be use for both reference and value type.

A major to using the Unsigned version of the types is that literals 101 are parsed as a sequence of numberical characters but interepted as the type integer not as a UInt. So you constantly have to cast them.

Do you have any links to those types where I can learn more about them? My google-fu is weak and I am only finding Option(of T) for F#, and running into too many hits for MayBe.
