At one time one could have reacted the same when people suggested
python could use a ternary operator. In the mean time a ternary
operator is in the pipeline. If you don't want to discuss how
python could be different with me, that is fine, but I do no
harm discussing such things with others.

Be free to correct me. But just suggesting that I'm wrong doesn't help
me in changing my mental model.
