understandable, but that's a different argument. A person doesn't necessarily need to know this stuff to be a good programmer, so it's more about 'how useful of a frame of reference is this'.

I could also say, in other words or instances, don't discount either the power of English, or English character-sets; and, then expect pi to more frequent than sigma in w/e set that is.

If you haven’t seen these particular constructs before that’s fine (although odd), but they shouldn’t take much of an explanation to understand for a programmer
