Fair enough, but don;t go advising newbies to do this."A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds". Rules are made to be broken.
Like only use immutables as dictionary keys.
Besides which, if you don't understand the language environment, rules alone will do you very little good. Try to focus a little more on principles and a little less on minutiae.
And what are the difference between those two?
Sometimes I get the impression that everything is a principle until one personnaly finds the need to break it. After that it is a rule.
Principle: "Ten angels can dance on the head of a pin".
Minutiae: "Well, if they'd all recently been on a diet and they hold on to each other very carefully you can get 10.3. I got eleven once by adding a hash function".
