Just for the fun of it I looked up a script for creating and populating a
table in Numbers: <https://iworkautomation.com/numbers/table-populate.html>

I ran the first script on the page, unedited. It does not do what yours does
but I think it makes the point. While there are certainly ways to speed the
script up, such as not having it create random numbers, not watching the
results as it runs, not aligning the data, etc., I think we can safely say
both sc and Excel kick Number's ass on this one. :)

Impressive, eh?

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot
use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow
superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
