You cherry-picked my comment to ignore my efforts at less-anecdotal proof. It was very much the zeitgeist to advocate for teaching computer programming back in the era I specified to encourage children to be in tech:

> Group B is a superset that includes group A!
Come on now, you can't make that claim without clown make-up on. If B is a superset of A, what's the point of your distinction then? ~You just made a stronger claim than mine; now you are also saying _everyone_ in A liked the show too.~
(EDIT: OK, as @defrost pointed out below, your claim is about intended audience rather than people liking the show. But doesn't change my view that asserting B is a superset of A makes your distinction pointless. Nor that using the term intended audience actually carries some burden of proof with it.)
Here's a picture of a superset to aid comprehension:
+-------------------+
| Set B |
| +---------------+ |
| | Set A | |
| +---------------+ |

( Although judging by the /r/SiliconValley subreddit (or whatever it was called) at least a few tech workers enjoyed the show )
- braingenious 4y agoI am glad that you so emphatically agree with me? Assuming that one’s perspective on what constitutes “the zeitgeist” is anecdotal and personal?
