True.  As it happens I'm happy to see things go OT on Python threads. 
It makes for more interesting reading, plus people might well pick up on 
something that otherwise they'd not have learned.  However I draw a line 
firmly in the sand at quantum computing here.  Let's stick with the 
wonders of list comprehensions, recursive functions and why can't Python 
do floating point arithmetic correctly?
