Indeed; for never iterates over an array. for always iterates over a list.

Doesn't this suggest that for iterates over the array, rather than over a list generated from the array?

b c d e f g

Maybe this is semantics, but I'd like to understand.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco. -- Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal?

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
