In my comments my goal was to describe why those other beliefs about auto are just fundamentally mistaken. To lobby for a certain way to think of it. My perspective on this actually is a very popular coding standard in some communities. For example, in The Zen of Python [0] (which is an official Python PEP) there is, “Explicit is better than implicit” right in the second line. It’s quite a widely regarded principle in programming. Still, given that I only lobbied to persuade that my perspective is the right one in this case, and did not ever try to claim that people cannot have a different opinion, your comment seems unrelated to earlier part of the discussion.
