For the same reason that in the following: [c.upper() for c in some_string if 'a' < c < 'x'] having the c symbol not stand for the speed of light is okay. Likewise, in the sentence "I went to the park today", the symbol I doesn't mean the element iodine. Symbols are context-dependent: the x in one equation is not necessarily the same x in another equation, and the symbol = in one context does not necessarily have the same meaning as in another context. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
