Fine, so you've just found a non-authoritative source that supports
you. Congratulations. If you'd looked up Wikipedia, you'd have found a
non-authoritative source that supports Ben. So I don't think your
arrogance is justified here.

Now, what has this to do with anything Python? You have quoted no
context, so all we have is "I'm right and you're wrong". Maybe if you
actually explain what your Python problem is and how this affects it,
we'll be better able to help you. Otherwise, you'll probably just get
yourself plonked.
