Comment (by Carlton Gibson):
I don't recall commenting here, but I do agree. The example is
pedagogical… — it shows using `login()` -- making it production worthy
would obscure the point trying to be made.
Claude's comment:2 seems right:
> If you use that in a context where it might not be the case, then yes,
you should defensively use .get(). That's pure standard Python behaviour.
