I'm not an expert in stupid science, and I fail to see the "common"
nature of the stuff you are comparing. Strings are not characters, and
neither the latter are bytes.

Anyway, trying to apply the same stupid science, I notice a much more
amazing fact:

>>> sys.getsizeof(True)
24

Does Python really needs twentyfour bytes to store a *single* bit of
information?? Wow, since by definition a byte contains eight bits,
there's a factor of 192... what a shame!

Yes, I bet in stupid languages that would be either a single character,
or a tuple of two or more characters, much more usable and compact.

Oh, nice to know. And OOC, what is a "mole" in your stupid science?
OTOH, WTF does that matter in current thread and with Python in general?

ciao, lele.
