Could you rephrase that question? The way it's worded at the moment is like going to a restaurant, ordering some food, having the plate of food put in front of you, trying to eat the food and getting nothing but air, and then having the waiter say, "What makes you think there would be actual substance?" > And what would you estimate, how many standard deviations are you away > from the average viewer of python.org in terms of these metrics (where > the metrics are like/dislike of menus, like/dislike of mouse moving, > like/dislike of unexpected browser behavior, like/dislike of links, > like/dislike of slide shows, etc.)? I am reminded of the quote by Edsger W. Dijkstra: Simplicity and elegance are unpopular because they require hard work and discipline to achieve and education to be appreciated. -- ~Ethan~
