Because your form cannot possibly work without some additional information. How is "by=card.suit" supposed to ACTUALLY WORK? As soon as you make it work, you create extra noise all of your own - yaknow, like saying that "card" is a parameter to the function. So maybe it ain't just noise. I'm done arguing. You aren't listening.
