How 'bout you foo<l>s just admit that you didn't realize you've been
confused this whole time? (It *is* possible isn't it?)
Mr. Ewing says "base" has to be interpreted as an *adjective* because
otherwise it would mean the BOTTOM (like the BASE of the pyramid),
while Terry responds that it is the TOP (*super*class). Earlier,
Steven D'Aprano wanted to argue that this distinction was irrelevant,
but obviously it can't very well be both at once now cannit?
Could-the-world-be-so-crazy-confused-and-then-shoot-the-messenger?
Sadly, yes.
