Implying I've randomly dropped a letter? Where did I randomly drop a letter?

Even if this minutiae is documented, which it is--thanks--How exactly 
have we come to accusing someone of randomly dropping letters and then 
jumping to the defense of the accusers based on irrelevant observations?

I swear there is another thread going on here of which I am not aware.

Perhaps we should read each others' postings as closely as we read the 
documentation?

Also, my original point was that the exact same code, ran in the exact 
same implementation of python, produces different results depending on 
whether it was imported. That such behavior is documented, as you have 
pointed out, doesn't make it any more excusable, at least in my opinion. 
Your opinion may be different.
