My favourite part was "This is a deep concept. It is as close to a 'learning' program as I have seen" since getting a compiler to recognize when, where, and how to inject (self-propagating) backdoor code seemed practically impossible.

It also expressed the idea of "self-referencing" more succinctly than the backdoor trick.
