Agreed, bad choice of words. It's only somewhat similar. Maybe "lazy" would be a better term. Whatever, man! I hope it's clear what I meant.

It’s not that you’re unclear, it’s that it is irrelevant to the discussion, as you were talking about a fairly trivial and unrelated language feature — and it is also a feature that exists in many languages, hardly unique to python.

Whatever, man. Maybe it was not totally related. Agreed. Maybe I had a bad day. It started as a single line that wasn't even the point of my comment. Ok?
