The thing that bugs me about pseudocode is not the potential to perform a
single action multiple times; it's simply the ability to say 'As soon as A,
I do B'. That's a bad thing, because we have no way of deciding the order in
which such things happen. For example, if two people say 'As soon as the
football is within three squares of me, I Run to it and pick it up', then
they both simultaneously run to the location and take the football. That's
Bad.
