Monkyyy brought up an excellent mathematical point, which adds
significant value to the discussion. While Timon provided a
summary of the two possibilities, I believe that, given the
mathematical foundations of programming, it would be more
productive to build upon Monkyyy's perspective rather than
approaching it solely from a pragmatic standpoint.
