 I have absolutely zero understanding of Finnish (I don't think I've ever
 really encountered any before).

 > I have learnt that if I say "Travis, open the window", it means that I
 have one specific window in my mind and I suppose that you also know what
 window I mean. "Open a window" means that there are several to choose one,
 and I don't care which one you open.

 Yes, provided there is only one window we are discussing.

 > In "Return the number of elements in the poset." I suppose that it is
 clear what poset we are referring to.

 In a way, yes, but it is more precise to say "this poset" as there might
 be one more poset around (especially when there is another input of a
 poset).
