Like, global variables?

Naked singletons in your locality.

Alright, who's been messing with the universal gravitational constant and making it not universal? No one's in trouble, I just want to know.

There's another tantalizing possibility, that it varies over time rather than across space.

Someone should be fined a bazillion dollars and disbarred for life for this indictment. Like every lawyer and law firm involved in the prosecution.

A billion years of kludges.

So... who is Satoshi?

I've heard that a non-Mensan asked a Mensan what it's like at a Mensa event. They replied, "If I have to explain something during a conversation, I only have to explain it _once_."

I see your point, but voters are not voting based on the candidate's intelligence levels.

Crashing the economy in order to put all the blame on already marginalized scapegoats may well be the point.

> Uppercase doesn't distort shapes

It distorts the shape of the words. Many people recognize many words as a whole, not by checking each letter in (eg) "the".

Distortion is the wrong term to use.

Yes, all-caps and lowercase have different word shapes. This is something that slightly slows down native or highly experienced speakers (readers), because they have so much exposure to reading the language that they use the word shape to help.

This is not something ESL students are doing to any appreciable degree. They have not put in the 1000's of hours of reading in the target language to read even faster by identifying word shapes. That is a level of optimization they are nowhere near.
