Why doesn't this work?

I think this is especially bad because it doesn't cause an error.
It lets
you do something to x, but then you can't see x again to see what it
did.
It did exactly what I expected it to do. What was the "this" that you
think was bad? I hope you are not asking that R ask users to confirm
every assignment with a popup window.
