Challenging even the most accepted mechanisms of a language is a proof
of intelligence.
Descartes's doubt method :
"The basic strategy of /Descartes/
<http://www.philosophypages.com/ph/desc.htm>'s method of doubt
<http://www.philosophypages.com/dy/d9.htm#doubt> is to defeat skepticism
<http://www.philosophypages.com/dy/s5.htm#skep> on its own ground. Begin
by doubting the truth of everything—not only the evidence
<http://www.philosophypages.com/dy/e9.htm#evid> of the senses and the
more extravagant cultural presuppositions, but even the fundamental
process of reasoning itself. If any particular truth about the world can
survive this extreme skeptical challenge, then it must be truly
indubitable and therefore a perfectly certain foundation for knowledge"
So let's make the method call parenthesis a "truly indubitable and
therefore a perfectly certain foundation".
Those who want to remove the parenthesis on python method calls raise
the hand !
