You find that a convincing argument? My point is that none of us know nearly as much as we think we do. If you think you’ve somehow zeroed in on the truth while sitting behind a screen or keyboard, you are sorely mistaken. Telling me about

omg yes. This is my single biggest complaint about large Python projects, or anything with complex implicit type conversions. Fun to write, a nightmare to read.

This blow my mind a little. I have to wonder if there is signal processing potential for, say, SDR.
