i'm glad you get it         ( that the inconsistency is weird. )

        (1)     print(1, sum( [1,2,3,4] ))
        (2)     print(2, max( [1,2,3,4] ))

        (3)   print(3, sum( * [1,2,3,4] ))
        (4)   print(4, max( * [1,2,3,4] ))

both 3,4 should be good    OR
both 3,4 should be bad. ------------ that's what i think!

ok....  i thnk i finally got it...   (just before  seeing  Roel Schroeven's  msg)
