RIP Stan Bootle, a polymath (or at least a duomath, aka Stan Kelly and Stan Kelly-Bootle). Something from the Computer Contradictionary: windows n, => The Windows literature tells us "... whenever an application creates a window, Windows sends that window a WMCREATE message. This is certainly reasonable, since being created is after all an event that might be of interest to the window". One is tempted to add that, prior to creation, the window is incapable of showing interest or disinterest in anything at all. I detect a neo-Cartesian autoepistemic syllogism here: "I (window speaking) have been told that I am; I hear this interesting message; therefore I am."
