Thanks Ravi for the 'due respect' though it is a bit out of place on a list like this :-) Thanks even more for the 'very confusion'. I can tell you being a teacher for 25 years that the most terrifying thing is the Dunning Kruger effect -- students who are utterly clueless and dont have a frigging clue about that. Ive seen PhDs in CS ask questions in compiler-related degree projects that they would not ask if they really understood the halting problem. [Or were you suggestig that I am the confused? :-) ] So yes, its a big thing to be confused and to accept that. To explain at length will be too long and OT (off-topic) for this list. I'll just give you a link and you tell me what you make of it: http://sloan.stanford.edu/mousesite/Secondary/Whorfframe2.html [mainly concentrate on the first section] -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
