Being in the world of "bare silicon",  this gave me a chuckle. "does
nothing, successfully" has a side effect, therefore actually does
something. Specifically, it declares success. For us, no-op is just "does
nothing", leaving the state the same as before. (Ok, technically, time has
passed and the instruction pointer register has incremented, so nothing
actually "does nothing".).
