Oh, that kind of table. I was expecting decision tables.[1]

"Smart contracts" for Etherium should have been decision tables. But no, they had to make it Turing-complete. A good thing about decision tables is that there's a finite and small number of cases, so they can be exhaustively tested. Also, they're readable. That's what you want for contracts. Not Solidity programs, which are expensively insecure.
