Who has made that claim, and where? You appear to be attacking a straw man. Rather, I've claimed that the conventional lime length limit is *based in* the real cognitive limits of human reading comprehension — and that technologies have been designed with corresponding limitations. Nowhere have I claimed 79 or 80 are somehow fundamental or encoded in human cognition, and I have seen no-one else claim that. Please try to work within your own cognitive limits and read what people write for comprehension. -- \ “As soon as we abandon our own reason, and are content to rely | `\ upon authority, there is no end to our troubles.” —Bertrand | _o__) Russell, _Unpopular Essays_, 1950 | Ben Finney -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
