Presumably understanding it is the basis of its being referred to as absurd.
- gretch 3y agoIt's not absurd though. It actually works. Is it suboptimal and a bit confusing at times? sure. But man these internet people sure are watering down the meaning of the word "absurd". It's like a tax lawyer saying that computer programming is "absurd". No sir, computer programming is based on sound principles of mathematics and linguistics. The hypothetical that GP comment posed demonstrated that they didn't understand how tax collection and the IRS works.
