>Alas, somebody will now quote Emerson at you, I fear;-). Let them come :-)
I almost always see this (mis)quoted as: "consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds" which is not really what Emerson said. The full quote is: "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds" I would say that a foolish anything is something to avoid. I don't think that anyone would claim that inconsistency is a virtue in a computer language (or in anything else for that matter). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
