that is just an oft-repeated myth that capitalism uses to perpetuate itself.

i think it was the same troll, actually.

Grothendieck’s Prime tripped me up in a maths competition in high school. i had manually stored a list of primes in my calculator, and one of the puzzles involved primes and deducing the combination to a lock from certain clues. my list of primes erroneously included 57, which almost made my team fail the level, until i realized my error.

what would be the alternative? to always execute if the condition is true, but sometimes execute it even when false, for funsies?
