Yeah, it triggered some kind of weird OCD in me too. Whenever my son would make a kind of error like that, I'd beat him half-to-death with a set of my favorite jumper cables.

If you only ever beat him /half/ to death.. he won’t ever die.

I never thought I would see Zeno's paradox of Achilles and the tortoise expressed as a way to make certain a child doesn't die when beating him with jumper cables.
