This paper looks at three aspects of numerical methods for solving polarized radiative transfer problems associated with spectral line formation in the presence of a magnetic field. First we prove "Murphy's law for Stokes evolution operators" which is the basis of the efficient algorithm used in the
The concepts of contribution functions (CF) and of mean depths of line formation of unpolarized light as well as of Stokes profiles will be critically discussed. After having outlined the historical development arguments are given in favour of the use of directly observable quantities such as the em
