As a casual lurker reading this thread, I believe he is equating
"completely incompatible" with "not completely compatible."  At least,
his arguments make more sense if I read him as arguing from the "not
completely compatible" position.  It's possible he is intentionally
equivocating for dramatic effect.

But they are different -- both connotatively and denotatively -- and to
argue against the claim that Python 2 and 3 are "completely
incompatible" it seems to me sufficient to provide a single non-trivial
counter-example, which Steven has already done.

Cheers,
Jason.
