That's true of any script. The fact that this one is well commented doesn't make it not a script.
A cheat sheet is something you hang on a wall and glance at every so often. A script is something you run to make changes to a system. You can't run a cheat sheet.

- melq 6y agoHow can you tell that a tall man in a trench coat isn't just a kid with a second kid sitting on their shoulder? How can you tell if the series of dots you perceive as an LCD isn't just a photorealistic painting glued to the front of the screen? How do know if your nervous system isn't just your bain in a vat connected to a matrix-esque electrochemical system? How can you tell that anything you believe to be real isn't just a sophisticated simulation? How can you tell if someone on hackernews isn't just making a specious argument just for the sake for arguing?
