So yes, you can say that pretending there's not a mapping of strings to

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.

Bytes is bytes and strings is strings
And the wrong one I have chose
Let's go where they keep on wearin'
Those frills and flowers and buttons and bows
Rings and things and buttons and bows.
No guessing the tune.
