It seems strange to be so sure that it's weird when ether affects both plants and animals, while simultaneously not being sure how ether actually works.

- djmips 6y agoI agree wholeheartedly. It's like when a programmer is surprised their optimization didn't help when they also admit that don't really know how a computer works.
- LordDragonfang 6y agoI actually disagree, but think your analogy is perfect here. Most programmers (even good ones) don't really know how a computer works, but they have notions of how it does. As such, they have a good idea of what they think should work, but can still often be surprised by behavior that falls outside that expectation. There's a lot of computer behavior that's "weird" due to low-level quirks.
