Crackpot math is the way to beat a response to a pulp?
And why does the response need to be beaten to a pulp?
Isn't the purpose of comp.lang.python to promote knowledge,
not ignorance?
When someone posts
x = []
for i in range(255):
x.append(i)
are you being a troll when you point out this could be
done better using list comprehension?

What was ill-informed? That there's no base 1?
>>> x = int('1111',1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in <module>
x = int('1111',1)
ValueError: int() base must be >= 2 and <= 36
Or that Roman numerals aren't equivalent to tallying?
