/* 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!
