I have the feeling that it does not do what I expect it does just by 
seeing the line. It is list comprehension, but the point is absolutely 
not in creating a list.

I'd say it breaks the rule «Explicit is better than implicit.» while 
«Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.»

But well... could be a matter of taste; I prefer the loop.
