One can know the intricacies of how something works and still possess a valid opinion that it doesn't work all that well or defies common sense and expectations.

For me the difference is that you wouldn't then feel compelled to cynically bemoan it for retweets but this schtick went on for years where people would do something out of spec and then complain it was really bizarre to me! Anyway ... Being discouraged by a bug is fine... Making everyone else laugh at the machine on your behalf seems to against understanding and knowledge even if it is fun and funny haha

    It’s absurd. Comedy is cognitive dissonance manifest. It can’t not be funny.

      I don't have dissonance. The language has the features that were designed or there is a bug in what they intended and I don't know why you think adding two empty objects together should make sense anyway. That it doesn't work resolves the dissonance.
