I'm not the one labeling anything as being silly. I'm the one labeling the things as bullshit, and that's what you're doing here. I can in fact say what the internal byte string representation of strings is any given build of Python 3. Just because I can't say what it would be in an imaginary hypothetical implementation doesn't mean I can never say anything about it.
