show an anti-idiom first

[DevinBayly]

I think it would be helpful to simplify the intro paragraph to something like: if you want to convert a temperature you could write... if you wanted to convert two temperatures you could copy the line and change on part, and then show code with 10 copied lines. Now say "Does this happen in your code? how can you avoid this?"

Then show the function definition image
