I suggest one also meditate on this: &&= and ||= exist; and= and or= do not. S'funny, but that is exactly what makes them (and & or) so useful in boolean conditions. But you will not see that usefulness until you cease making an wholly artificial distinction beween "flow control" and whatever you consider to be "non-flow control". This: my $x = isSomething() and isSomethingElse() ? $p : $q; is just as much "flow control" as doSomthing() or doSomethingElse(); as is: if( isSomething() and isSomethingElse() ) { ... } else { ... }; Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
