And yet, the fact that it's hard to explain your intuition to others (Steven is not the only one who's finding this hard to follow) surely implies that it's merely that - personal intuition - and not universal understanding. The *whole point* here is that not everyone understands the proposed notation the way the proposers do, and it's *hard to explain* to those people. Blaming the people who don't understand does not support the position that this notation should be added to the language. Rather, it reinforces the idea that the new proposal is hard to teach (and consequently, it may be a bad idea for Python).
