As per your own link, ...omit the essence that is ritual inclusion without understanding../

Cute:)

How is one character a ritual? How is using it inclusion without understanding?

    ; 1 is more than one character and stupid c&p b/c "many others did before" is cargo cult.

      Hmm, how do you other peoples motives? How do you know that it is stupid c&p b/c "many others did before"? How do you know the person who typed that did not do so thoughtfully?

      Also, one character is one character; you add "1" to "foo();" you don't add ";1" to "foo()"
