I'm sure you can understand why "I'm going to ignore this part of the language because it damages my argument" might be convincing to yourself but not to others

  I’m not sure what argument you see me making. I’m also not ignoring anything. And I am most certainly not trying to convince anyone of anything. In the comment you are responding to I am talking about how I view language constructs and their impact on my view of semantics. I don’t have an argument to make. The closest thing to an argument I am making is that iterators are a different language construct than a basic looping construct. If you disagree that’s fine, like I said, I’m not trying to ‘win’ anything or convince anyone of anything. Edit to refer to sibling comment — As I said in a sibling comment, the iterator loop construct is syntactic sugar and that’s why I was saying it is different from discussing a more basic looping construct.
