A relevant quote from the linked article: > I implore you, dear reader, to set aside your petty grievances; trifling things such as the format of an article or website, the unfortunate repetition of a name, or the vexing loss of information when pressing the back button.

  I find it incredible that this was written by an AI and it translated: > back-button breakage into > the vexing loss of information when pressing the back button It's a remarkably good translation. Then again "the unfortunate repetition of a name" does not have quite the same meaning as "name collisions".

    > Then again "the unfortunate repetition of a name" does not have quite the same meaning as "name collisions". I noticed that too. I wonder what a more precise wording would be.
