You are mixing two things: protesting and being confused. Protesting about a fundamental tenet is of no use, but talking about confusion might help. One psychological problem I'm seeing in many answers here is that people seem to want to defend the honor of Python. It's very religion-like. New potential converts are welcomed with open arms but when they start to ask awkward questions, they are treated as suppressive persons.
