Well duh. By the way, it's a dirty trick to cut out all context to try to 
make me seem like an idiot.

In context, you stated that Thesaurus "will search through nested objects
recursively when __getitem__ is called", but in fact that is not true. It 
does not do what you state it does.

Oh well I'm just hurt now. *sobs*

So, let's see now... I identified that your Thesaurus code:

* will fail silently;
* contains dead code that is never used;
* contains redundant code that is pointless;
* hides errors in the caller's code;

and you consider this "not productive, not worth my time". Code review 
with you must be *all* sorts of fun.
