The Spaghetti Wars heat up

[Gathen, Bill]

Bill Ott has successfully analyzed the code.  However...

The stated question is: what is the CORRECT command-line argument?

HINT:	There is a cultural/geek factor involved here which is simple to
look up once you've analyzed the code.

The winner will be the one who can give the correct argument, and explain
(generally) how the code works.  Bill's 90% there, so the pressure's
mounting for the rest of you!
