I will not, since I was not making an assertion, but an observation
that some Pythonistas ignore (and even outright dismiss) claims that
Python has a drawback by countering with a suggestion that they should
be doing it some other, often more obtuse, way anyway--and expressing
a wish that I could observe this less often.
