I don't know where I did that; to my knowledge, this is the first time
I've mentioned Guido, and it's in rebuttal to his authority on the issue
of whether “there's nothing wrong with” bool-as-a-special-int.

(On the separate issue of whether Guido is an authority on how Python
will behave, I haven't even commented. To be clear: yes, he is the BDFL
and therefore is authoritative on that issue.)

There either is something problematic with a behaviour, or there isn't.

The *degree* of wrongness can vary. I'm merely pointing out that, in
this case, it's non-zero.
