Maybe he has a duck phobia. Maybe he denies the existence of ducks.
Maybe he doesn't like the sound of ducks. Maybe he just weighs the same
as a duck. In any case, duck tolerance is necessary to use Python
effectively.


On a side note, it turns out there's no word for the fear of ducks. The
closest phobia is anatidaephobia, which is the fear of being /watched/
by a duck.
