Their response made it surprisingly clear, actually, since they said exactly the same as I'd have said and I've an extremely technical background. I fully expected the non-technical folk to respond differently to me but they didn't. They surprised me due to the fact they
agreed. :D

If you take a moment and actually read my original post, you'll see where I mention why I might use each and how the scheme gets modified for a situation. But we are also getting hung up on this example, which was never meant to be all encompassing.

I understand your reservations on the matter, I just don't agree with them all. I can agree to disagree. :)
As for getting hung up, I fully agree. :P
...it's also really,
really bizarre "responding to myself". (I've used Vyper as a moniker - with that exact spelling - outside the scope of the interwebs, for well over 17 years. People that refer to me by that handle have quite often said that I can seem to be in several places at once: does this make them kinda right? ;) Hehehe. Seriously freaky, though, dude. Seriously freaky. :P)
