Neither is even remotely true in my experience with Python. Perl and
Java (respectively) are over there ==> ;)

If the master has to hit the student at all, he's chosen the wrong way
to teach. If he has to do it repeatedly, he's a pretty poor judge of
sticks and students.

For the toy analogy, the master keeps the guns, tear gas, and nuclear
bombs locked up, not the toys.
