here's no guessing involved if you are going to write an expression that doesn't depend on the order of evaluation. Guessing is required if you write an expression that does, and you don't know the order because it's either not defined, or you can't memorize the table.

Utterly meaningless.

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?
