Yes.
A practical angle is this: if I used strings as symbols and compared
them with "==", logically I shouldn't define them as constants but
simply

Try this

num = random.randint(1,upLimit)
count = 0
gotIt = False
while (not gotIt):
print('Guess a number between 1 and', upLimit, ':')

Not necessarily even foolish; the SQL NULL value [1] behaves like that.

Well, it doesn't since

More generally, it depends on how the __eq__ method has been implemented
for the class. You might even
