/* Explain to Rick that, although I'm wrong, I'm right */ Well, now that I think about it, you may well be right – but that only reinforces my point… "out" should have been cast to verb from its default type, which is preposition. Which only goes to show that it can be very dangerous to use a relatively typeless language like English for serious communication. Gads, man, his message wasn't even commented properly!
