6 Clearly not... As you say, you don't care to understand any of this.
7 You're just jumping in because you think you know what a file extension
8 is and are thus qualified to comment. Unfortunately, the file extension

13 rather than green because you don't like pink (because your last house
14 was green too), ignoring that it's been demonstrated that when painted

16 because the green paint will catch fire and kill everyone.
