That's because most people who read the mailing list do not run code as presented.

You will find that most of the arguments here are about philosophical differences. I should say entrenched philosophical differences.

Nobody can argue with a parser. Either it accepts your code or not. Nobody can argue with the results of a program. Either it works or it does not.

What we can and do argue about is the best way to program. The thing to remember is that if your program achieve your results, it's good programming. Of course, it can be made faster, smaller, or more understandable.

Which is where the argument comes in. Some want it faster. Some want it smaller. Some want it easier to understand.

Vie la difference.
