8 Stop guessing, then. You're way off. You apparently do not understand
9 that an assertion without justification has no value in a serious
10 discussion. Even it that has already been explained somewhere else, it
11 may have been interpreted differently by different people (assuming
12 they can find it). And sorry to disappoint you but you're not alway
13 right. You have to give people a chance to contradict you, for your
14 own good. Also, please stop thinking people have the exact same thing
15 in mind as you because that leads to misunderstandings. All of us
16 being different and thinking differently is why we are this good.

18 There's nothing you can do about this, it's human nature. The day
19 you'll understand all of this you'll be a much better dev and human
20 being in general. And this day, working with you will be lots of fun.
21 Too bad you were late when the specification for Man was written,
22 because it seems we would have been much better than we are, and it
23 would have been easier for you now.
