Because, in the real world, that example looks something like
def broken(intelligence_level):
if intelligence_level < 100:
return dumb_down(intellegence_level)
else:
return make_harder(intelligence_level)
broken(op.iq)
Pylint, pyflakes or some other such linter should catch it, but this
happens ALL THE TIME in actual development, occasionally leaking into
production.
