On a scale of 0-10, for Python technical knowledge, you (F.L.) are
probably at 9.5 whereas I might hover around 2 - and I will most likely
always defer to your expertise in this area.

However, I have some experience as a Python student (having learned
about programming in Python on my own over the past two years) and as a
teacher (*mostly* in a very different field) and I respectfully
disagree over this hyper-generalised characterisation of my stated
opinion on this subject as "rubbish".
