I bet my last 2 cents this has already been raised in past but I want to give it a try and revamp the subject anyway. Is there a reason why the error shouldn't be adjusted to state that *1* argument is actually required instead of 2?

Because it actually does take two arguments (self and x) and it only got one (self). I understand the confusion (and was bitten by it myself when I was a newbie) but the interpreter is only telling you the truth. Geremy Condra
