 In the `actual code`_ there is also a sanity check which asserts that the
 computed output is the very same as the one returned by ``Creature.run_step``.
 
-Note that is code is particularly PyPy-friendly. Thanks to PyPy's `list strategies`_
-optimizations, ``self.data`` as a simple list of floats is internally represented
-as a flat array of C doubles, i.e. very fast and compact.
