Ok fair enough.
It just seems to me that if (ever!) something like a guideline/code
for this list is made, one thing needed is that somethings are
negotiable some not.  In particular, python programs are what we discuss, PL design only at the fringes.

Especially when an absolute noob starts holding forth about python without having a clue, I feel the most fruitful lines is to not agree or disagree but to say: "Python programs are what we discuss here; not python. Please treat python as a given -- like the sun, moon and taxes."
