I didn't make that claim, so I don't feel much need to comment on it.  I
will say that the given example of a pathologically bad use of complex
expressions was one you yourself wrote, and in a prioprietary language
not listed here.

As part of an argument involving why conditional operators would be a
bad idea to add to Python, it is not exactly a convincing example of
misuse, since it's wholly irrelevant.
