I was just saying talking about id() as a memory address isn't all that bad. It's a bit like rolling down your power windows or turning up the volume, when there's nothing to roll or turn. There's no risk of getting your program wrong.
Unless you're talking about, say, the PyPy implementation, for which id is _not_ a memory address at all.
Why insist on using "memory address" rather than "unique identifier", when the latter is fundamentally more correct?
