I dont think so. Flow-charts went out with paper-tape and mainframes. They
looked good, but seemed about as useful as a Barry Jones Knowledge-Nation

Perhaps you are confusing them with more modern charts, like object
relationship diagrams? Flowcharts are procedural.
Or are you suggesting that cave-men profited well prom flow-charts?
