I didn't say that 'for...else' was inherently "intutively obvious".
In fact I said the opposite of that. I said that *if* you start from
the right premise then it *becomes* intuitively obvious.

I'm glad your expectations are being met then. You might want to work

Yes, your logical argument there as to why is undeniable. I must admit
that your little gang's assertion that I'm foolish and mistaken because
I find Python's syntax simple to understand and you find it hard to
understand seems a little contradictory.
