Did you actually read that article, understood it, went through the
tons of responses from python-dev team members, including Guido, or
simply read its title, did absolutely no serious thinking about it and
go on throwing it around as if it would prove anything?

I can't believe this "super( ) is harmful" BS is still alive, it grew
to be a mature internet meme like the dancing hamster or star wars kid
:)
