I don't think Ken actually made any of the false assumptions you've listed here, so it's a bit harsh to post that list in this thread. This list is for "speculative language ideas" and "discussion". Ken has met that standard. The topic of tone is interesting, and a broader discussion of how to use python-ideas for newcomers and regulars alike is probably overdue, just not in this thread.
